Depends on you I guess, you can make it into a full blown OS either way, me is getting the Gnome one, I tried the preview(Rawhide) of KDE and had some issues with it, doesn't necessarily mean it should be the same case with the release.

C2D, me as well, so x86_64.

No, those should be fine I think, were a breeze on Fedora 9, no messing around like before, and also the 64bit flash is slowly creeping out, so there you go. As for developing, you should typically find everything for it you find on an i686 system.

IIRC, mjmwired.net was like a hotspot for the installation and post-install procedures, probably follow that and all should be fine. Not sure if they have updated with the F10 page.

The Fedora Project, a Red Hat sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration project, today announced the availability of Fedora 10, the latest version of its free, open source operating system distribution.

The new release offers the latest stable version of GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.1, faster boot experience (powered by Plymouth), better printing, better webcam support, improved wireless network connection sharing, better software maintenance and update (powered by PackageKit and RPM 4.6), and virtualization storage. Plus, it adds a new security tool for IDS (Intrusion Detection System) called SecTool. In Fedora 10, users will enjoy a brand new theme called "Solar," and a new lightweight desktop environment called LXDE. Developers and system administrators will enjoy the power of Eclipse 3.4 and NetBeans IDE.

Everything works! Icedtea (OS Java) has a 64 bit java plugin, and adobe has released an alpha of a 64 bit flash plugin, which works great! Even before, you could run a 32 bit flash plugin via nspluginwrapper! I've been on 64 bit for more than a year now. No problems :)

What Kalpik said, and then some more, you can always expect to get to choose from the proprietary or free things, as in Icedtea for Java and SwfDec for Flash.

@esumitkumar, it is expected to be free of the bugs that have plagued Ubuntu in recent years.

Install from the drive? Hmm, I haven't ever tried something like this except in a Virtual machine, so can't say. Let me get back on this.

I am definitely going to get Fedora 10. I am sick of ubuntu's terrible performance. I hope fedora can do what ubuntu couldn't - be easy to use for a newbie yet satisfy every hungry power user.

@Hitboxx: Do you advice i686 or x86_64 on a Pentium 4 "Prescott" ?

And is there any difference between JRE, OpenJDK and IcedTea ?

How is the performance of SWFdec compared to Flash64(alpha) compared to hacked_to_run_Flash32 ?

Does anybody in bangalore have the 64bit Installer DVD with them ?
Is there any shop where I can buy the Fedora 10 "Cambridge" DVD with artwork ?
I am waking up late these days and hence I can't download in a short time.
