Upgrading to a new you

Yesterday I updated my primary desktop from Fedora 14 to Fedora 16. I didn't have much time to get anywhere beyond completing the install and the initial set of updates before it was time for bed. So far the best way I can describe the experience would be to say I have found the switch Gnome Shell rather jarring. Trying to interact with systemd also feels like fumbling my way through a foreign language so far.

It's only be a little while so I'm going to give this a chance to grow on me, but I wanted to start documenting my user experience as best I can.
