Here's a good review.

Like many of the latest distros, FC6 includes AIGLX + Compiz, which, if you haven't seen before, is pretty damn cool. Unfortunately, screenshots don't do Compiz justice, so you'll just have to try it yourself.

Well, I got it all downloaded. Now I just have to get it installed. But I am going to instal Vista first and then Fedora and try to use the Grub loader and try to get triple boot to work.

Well, I just started the Fedora Core 6 install. I ran the media test, everything checked out fine. The anaconda installen saw my card as a 7900gt which I was excited to see. However, it went to a black screen and then the mouse came up as a x icon and it just sat there. It froze in the same place as mine always did in Fedora Core 5. How agrivating!!! Anyone have any bright ideas?

Well, tody I worked on my problem for awhile. I did a linux noprobe command install. I loaded one driver by itself everytime until it failed. It ended up failing when it loaded the nforce sata controller driver. So, I guess I can't get my sata drives. Any ideas of what I can do next? I had the same problem with Fedora Core 5 and now 6. It did the same thing on my old computer which both were Nforce4 boards. I guess that is the problem, anyone have any suggestions!! I really want to get linux running!!
