Constantine installed flawlessly as a partition alongside my Vista64 disks. Visibly, there are a few improvements that I won’t bother reiterating here, but it makes the desktop experience incrementally better. And the boot-up process remains reasonably quick.
Of special interest to me was the 2D/3D accelerated open source support of my Radeon HD 3870 x2 card, purchased 20-months ago. I enabled that support by a mere:
yum install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental
… and a quick edit in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to use the radeonhd driver. Woot!!
