I haven't yet upgraded from FC1 to FC2 but there are some points about this review that I wanted to comment on.
Audio drivers
I've been using OSS for a long time. It seems to work. FWLIW, I don't listen to music on my Linux systems (I have a CD player for that).
OpenOffice.org 1.1.1
I don't do enough writing to make a comment on this. I have run across an OOo macro on freshmeat that does much better PDF exporting.
Evolution and GPG encryption
Someone already mentioned this already.
The GIMP 2.0
Don't use it. Don't have a need for it.
GNOME 2.6
Again, don't use it. Don't use KDE either for that matter. I've been using XFce for many years and Fedora now includes it as one of the standard desktop environments.
I don't post this as a disagreement with the authors review on FC2. I have no doubt that everything he's experienced is dead on. But I wanted to point out that there are different perspectives on upgrading distros (any distro). Because of the configuration I run I've been able to upgrade from RH 6.2 through FC1 with little or no problems.
