I done that too. It looks great at first tho but then you find out that most of the good stuff has been removed and it all went downhill for me.
I tried to get IRC working (e.g Xchat) but with no luck. Then I tried to get my graphics card working but it says it's not connected and it uses the default GeForce driver (which is slow). Updating it made no difference.
I was not impressed and reverted back to 8.1....but will probably go over to RedHats latest version for better support.
