Fedora 17 XFCE is a rather nice GNU/Linux Operating System. For all of you who misses the classic look, feel work flow GNOME 2, XFCE is a good choice. The Live session was smooth and then I clicked Install on Hard Drive and then Anaconda fired up and installtion was smooth yet boring.
The default wallpaper is the fireworks wallpaper that you are familiar with. The XFCE themeing is vanila but after a few minutes tweaking it was looking great. Stability wise rock solid stable. But it rather contain a rather boring set of applications. Music Player is Pragha and Media Player is Parole which will play none of your mp3 because it doesn't contain any propietary codecs. In Internet you get Firefox but you also get Midori which is yet another avatar chromium(I guess). You also Claws mail , Remmina , Pidgin, transmission etc. In office application you get Abiword and Gnumeric.
Overall the system is stable with some rough edges
