Bit late on this one, sorry.
Nothing much to report with Fedora 15. I've installed it fine on several machines, from desktops, laptops, servers and Xen virtual machines.
Some major annoyances that have plagued me though:
* I absolutely HATE the new network device naming scheme. It was great knowing that the ethernet devices on almost everything I logged onto was going to be eth0, eth1, eth2, etc. Now I have to check every single time. If I switch between RHEL or other distro and F15 I often end up using eth0 without remembering and the command fails. As a network admin using a lot of network based tools, it's a nightmare. Some tools like arping expect to use eth0 as a default and fail. My laptops built in wired NIC is called p10p1 !!!
* plasma-desktop often gobbles up 100% CPU and cripples my machine until I kill the process and restart it. This happened quite a lot early on in F15, got fixed and stopped happening, now is happening again with the latest updates. KDE is to blame though I guess.
* kpackagekit is still as broken as ever. Utterly useless broken software - just use yum from the command line. Often fails to notify me of any available updates. Often can't handle installing updates and gets confused. Seems 10 times slower than command line yum.
* Broadcom wl driver problems. Getting sick of applying updates, rebooting then finding I've got no wireless device any more.
* Nvidia drivers. Got sick and tired of keeping the drivers working after updates, now using Nouveau which is generally ok but often get corrupted graphics and have to restart. Given up on accelerated gfx and composting effects.
