I have installed Fedora, reporting this for comparison purposes (I intend to reinstall Ubuntu when this bug is fixed!)

1) Performance in 3d games is far better -- 50fps in bzflag with all options turned on, as opposed to 15-20 at lower quality settings in Intrepid.

But!

2) Some users report hanging X on startup (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469292). I have experienced X crashes occasionally, locking video/kbd/mouse though ssh access is still available, usually when running bzflag but also on power resume (which, btw, works fine for me on Ubuntu.)

3) Many users (esp. 64-bit users) are still reporting slowness. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469690
