I found the tc9 dvd image download, did what any Fedora biggot did, downloaded it, and wiped out a small hard disk that I keep for playing around.
The TC9 is the penultimate iso before the iso file is released at month end. UEFI is a problem for Fedora, as it is for the Linux Foundation and for your favourite distribution, (SUSE seems to have it right). In setting the installer, one of the selection panels refers to disks and file systems. I chose the default and after some thought, chose btfrs. The installation was uneventful. After installation, there is the reboot to complete initialization. The reboot felt faster than booting Ubuntu on the same hardware system with ext4. (I have 4 Linux distributions arranged on two drives). The drive with Ubuntu is faster than the one I used for F18. F18 and btfrs appears even faster than Fedora 17, also on that system. For those that are curious, because of btfrs, the system feels faster. Gnome on F18 is heavily optimized (so they say), and I noticed speed improvements. All the F18 applications from the pre-beta that I tested, work just fine.In the next few days I will try to add all the codecs and other fine stuff that I use. Yeah, since 2004, I've stuck to Fedora. Even with all the Selinux headaches. Always enjoyed using Fedora. Always found the libdvdcss and other non-free codecs and stuff. I will be testing the btfrs features to see if I can undo an installation. If so, wonderful, if I can't, it will be to stay with ext4 and lvm.
