FC11 is great. I think its best version from fedora till date. It's better
than ubuntu 9.04 and windows 7 RC.

I installed the preview on my EeePC 901 and loved it.
Sad thing is some Intelgfx,X11 and kernel updates killed suspend and resume and downgrading to older versions seems really hard.

I hope that gets fixed soonish.

Does a fresh installation have the same problem? Do you have bug reports filed?

I won't do a fresh install to fix problems. My windows days are over :P

And no I haven't filed a bug report. I don't have the disk space for debug packages and I think it is a problem that will be fixed whether I file a bug or not. The EeePC isn't exactly exotic hardware and the Intel/KMS suspend and resume problems seem to be well known and will get a fix.
I will however reconsider if this isn't fixed within a reasonable timeframe.

If you update from a preview release, the potential for problems is a bit more because bugs that have been fixed sometimes linger on in upgrades. It is important to file a bug report when you run into issues since not everyone with the same hardware is experiencing the same problems. That assumption is often wrong.

You know if everyone had that mentality, the bug would never get filed.

If you have yum 3.2.23 installed try running:

yum downgrade packagename
