[Hampshire] Fedora 9

After two new installs and one upgrade I'm pleased to see this release
is much better than F8. The encryption option on install is a great
bonus and I have used that on my laptop. Wireless detection is better
but still not as good as Ubuntu as some manual input to download the
firmware for Broadcom. NetworkManager takes over control from the normal
boot time network script which can cause some problems (I reverted back
to network script on two for simplicity). The main problem is some of
the software not running with the latest software libraries like
rapidSVN or gkrellm. This will obviously improve in the next few weeks
as updates are provided.

Overall a good release, though perhaps wait a month if you have
applications you need and have not been updated yet.
