This should solve all the problems with missing software on Fedora: Flash, Skype and codecs.

I haven't tried it myself but I will do when/if I need to reinstall.

Nice :)
That was what I was looking for. I'm very glad the got the right idea of what is missing from the strictly open source Fedora. Especially the nVidia drivers are welcome for gamers, 3D modellers and designers.
And of course the h264, divx, mp3 codecs and Adobe Flash that have become essential software.

Really thinking about giving this a try now..

I strongly recommend joining the Fedora forum but beware that the rules are much tighter than here, the administrator didn't like me posting a picture of Bush eating a baby. ;D
It's a pretty good forum andf you'll be fine if you don't talk politics, religion, swear or insult people. The administrator seems pretty reasonable and will PM you, if he deletes one of your posts.

I've now upgraded to Fedora 12, which seemed to go well apart from an issue with it now removing the old FC11 Virtual Box kernel module which stopped me from updating the kernel or VB, until I finally figured out and fixed it by removing the VB FC11 kernel module.
There doesn't seem to be much difference between FC12 and FC11 but it's probably worth upgrading for the continued support. Next time I think I might give it a month or so before upgrading to the next version, in the hope the upgrade will be easier.
