Sorbet on Fedora's future

For a while, I've been arguing with very knowledgeable people here that there are way too many bugs in Fedora, bugs that either hinder a pleasant user experience or plainly break systems to the point that one wonders if he's not being hacked. And, for a non-geek like me, get rid of them before new

How to remove non-Fedora kernels?

Dear fellow Fedora users, Is thare a way one can remove non Fedora kernels manually, i.e, remove /boot/vmlinux-2.? and /usr/src/linux-2.??? or /lib/modules/2.6./. I have compiled two kernels and none of them work as well as Fedora kernel, I can't compile modules against them.

Fedora12 keyboard choice setting is not respected.

Living in Canada and working bilingually, my keyboard is Canada French ca(fr).  It is not USA. I run Fedora12 in English, but the keyboard is the one I mentioned.  Here is the problem that recently started to occur. When I chose my logon, Gnome shows USA as the keyboard.  If I do not change it,

I'm at a lose to understand KDE gestures. If I enable them on my Laptop, the touchpad and buttons becomes nigh on useless. So if anyone knows how KDE gestures are useful, or can be made so, please let me know. Otherwise I'd not recommend them. JB -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.o

I've created a Fedora 12 VMWare guest on a Fedora 10 system. VMWare tools appear to build and install correctly, and when I start/stop them manually, they appear to work. After starting them I can resize the VM window to match my screen. When I reboot the guest, a message is issued saying "guest
