My experience with FC6 is similar to that found in this review. I can confirm the problems with the text installer and trackpad. Yum is still as slow as a really slow package handler.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:) It is similar in speed to Yast in Suse--apt-get trumps both of these choices as far as speed goes.
Other than that FC6 is a nice Gnome-based (at least in default) distro that is very similar to Ubuntu. It is solid and fast. There was another FC6 review posted on the website a few days ago (by Jeb Matsen, or a similar name) that was not at all reflective of my experience. Given the recent MS/Novell news, FC6 may be worth a look for users interested in a free-oriented distro.
