I must be slow today.  Can you explain the significance of "8edora"?

AND!!! for the Dr. Who fans (you know , ahem, who you are) Fedora has
been spotted in an upcoming Dr. Who episode!

notice the tiny fedora icon in the lower left on that KDE desktop :-)

maybe that should be spelled 8edora...

I still have no way to suspend/hibernate my toshiba laptop. After giving
it some thought, I am suspicious that it may not understand how to work
with the encrypted partition(s). As this was an upgrade from F14 to F15,
I can see how some setup tweaks were not installed from that process.
Still... suspend doesn't hit the encryption aspect.

Of course Toshiba has no BIOS capability to let me tweak things
there....

I just jumped straight in when Rich brought the Fedora 15 to work and II
was lost as well.  No right click functionality for backgrounds,
creating folders, etc.   Well after some slight research I found this
http://www.multimediaboom.com/gnome-3-keyboard-and-mouse-shortcuts/ this
really helped me gain some momentum on tackling Gnome 3.  Also I use
easylife for a lot of my basic installs and such.  I am going to run
with Gnome for about a month to see how I like it, if not back to
preious Gnome.  Happy Thursday everyon :)
