Fedora 16 has been out for almost a month now but doesn't seem to be available as a distro choice.

Are there plans to support Fedora 16 or will I have to roll my own if I want to use it?

It would seem that the repos are catching up. Fedora turns over so quick. I haven't tried it, but you could install FC15 and upgrade with yum if you wanted to avoid the recovery method.

Let me know how it works out. If you don't get to it, I may try it out first. I do second your FC16 request.

For what it's worth, I've been running F16 since before it went gold, and aside from a couple of kernels that had issues (and the fact that you have to be mindful that Linode uses pvgrub, which behaves like grub1; grub2, the default in F16, is a significantly different beast), overall I've been pretty happy with it.

(The only ongoing problem I've had is in-guest rebooting; it looks like something is hanging up with plymouth. Reboot via lish works fine. Haven't cared enough about it to really dig into it, since I have a workaround. :))

I'd love to see this become an official image option as well. I already made an attempt at an upgrade to F16 but it ended badly because of their new SystemD thing.
