I installed Fedora 15 x86_64 on Vaio VPCCW21FX (Intel I3). It works fine!

  1. Install Fedora using DVD (x66_64);
  2. Do the yum updates (about 457 Mb);
  3. Disable SELINUX (edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux);
  4. Install mesa-dri-drivers;
  5. Reboot;
  6. Install kernel-headers kernel-devel gcc using yum;
  7. Download latest Compat-Wireless here and install it. After uncompress, run:
    make
    make install
    make unload
    make wlunload
    make btunload
    modprobe ath9k
  8. Install Flash 64 bits (preview release). Instructions here;
  9. Install gnome-tweak-tool.noarch
  10. Install new repos:
    rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
    http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
  11. Give a look at:
    The Perfect Desktop – Fedora 15 (be careful, it’s a guide for 32 bits)
  12. I installed some tools I use to work (needs to create zend repo under yum.repos.d):
    yum install httpd mysql mysql-server php-5.2-mysql-zend-server php-5.2-mcrypt-zend-server php-5.2-bcmath-zend-server php-5.2-curl-zend-server php-5.2-mysqli-zend-server php-5.2-mbstring-zend-server php-5.2-imap-zend-server php-5.2-zip-zend-server php-5.2-dev-zend-server mod-php-5.2-apache2-zend-server php-5.2-gd-zend-server php-5.2-extension-manager-zend-server php-5.2-ftp-zend-server php-5.2-tokenizer-zend-server php-5.2-pdo-mysql-zend-server php-5.2-debugger-zend-server php-5.2-ctype-zend-server php-5.2-wddx-zend-server zend-server-ce-php-5.2.noarch git subversion meld kdesvn
  13. Install multimedia tools:
    yum install xmms-mp3.x86_64 xmms-normalize.x86_64 xmms-mplayer.x86_64 gnome-mplayer.x86_64 gnome-mplayer-nautilus.x86_64
  14. Install other tools… The most important is Compat-Wireless and Mesa Video Drivers.
