If nobody cares, and nothing's going to change in terms of a packaged

But as a formerly happy Fedora user, this is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.

I started my current system out by adding Fedora 18 to a Windows 8
system with UEFI. The installer took care of everything, and it worked
out of the box. Since then I've done fedup upgrades to F19 and F20.

I have a GPU like this. Try the Xfce spin. You can't get 3D acceleration on
this AMD GPU without the closed-source AMD Catalyst driver (which I get
from RPM Fusion), and GNOME requires 3D. Xfce does not, and that's a good
place tostart.

If you're really worried, you should get another hard drive and image the

want, you have your original system to work from.

I believe you can use the Anaconda "hub and spoke" configuration to

But it's been awhile since I've done an installation, so all this is a bit hazy.

CentOS 7 uses a 3.10 kernel, and my 1.5-year-old AMD laptop is not
terribly happy with it, especially compared with 3.16 in Fedora. If
I'm going to muck around and always follow the latest kernel, I might
