- DanteShamest, on 06/10/2009, -2/+20Come, Leonidas. Let us reason together. It would be a regrettable waste, it would be nothing short of madness, were you, brave Redhat-backed distro, and your valiant fanbois to perish... all because of a simple incompatibility with our software packagement utilities. There is much our distros could share.
- Ubuntu - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+17"Begins ITS reign"
Not "it's"... "its" - insomniacal, on 06/10/2009, -0/+16Geeks may change the grammar rule on commas and quotation marks, but they'll never find a way to put IT IS in the middle of your Digg title. No apostrophe.
- kevintootill, on 06/10/2009, -1/+15Has anyone else installed this? what is it like?
I may actually try this, just as a change, i have had enough of Vista and am finally willing to try something new. - LoneWolf01, on 06/10/2009, -0/+12Well Fedora 10 was good. Don't see why Fedora 11 won't be.
- secrity, on 06/10/2009, -0/+11Fedora is bleeding edge Red Hat Linux and has frequent releases. If you are looking for a more stable version, you might prefer CentOS, which is a free version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and it is much more conservative. Fedora is a testing ground for RHEL.
- Waiting2awake, on 06/10/2009, -0/+11Why aren't you up yet?
- secrity, on 06/10/2009, -0/+10What was wrong with installing Fedora Core 4 as a lab in college? Unless it was inappropriate for the class, it seems like a perfectly reasonable lab. Why your instructor chose such an old release is somewhat of a mystery; it could be due to him using an old lesson plan or he may have had a specific academic reason for choosing it.
If you become a *nix sys admin or developer you could end up installing even older versions of *nix on production servers in order to accommodate specific needs. In a previous job, I was installing Solaris 2.5.1 in certain machines long after Solaris 10 was out; the company had specific requirements added to the support contract for Sun to support 2.5.1. There were some legacy applications that would only work with 2.5.1.
In my present job, I am still installing RHEL4 on some servers because the developers haven't yet tested the applications to work with RHEL5. The test, development, and production environments have to all have the same versions of OS with the same patch levels, - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+9Everything does work with Linux more often than the other OS.
Why do you think a Live CD is possible twit? - secrity, on 06/10/2009, -0/+9I am not surprised -- Fedora is bleeding edge.
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -1/+10Swell, I'll have to go get it. YUM!!!!
- cplusplus, on 06/10/2009, -0/+9I installed it and it works nice for me.
- Waiting2awake, on 06/10/2009, -0/+9You can change it if you like, or use Gnome with menu bars at the top, or bottom, or left or right - anywhere you would like it, you can place it. Or you could use another window manager with no toolbar at all.
With Linux, the way you want it, is the way you can make it. - mmcgrath, on 06/10/2009, -0/+8They release often so they can take the risks the other distros don't. Why would you want Fedora to be just like everyone else?
- paulsmith288, on 06/10/2009, -0/+8as long as your prepared to pay $$$ for it when it comes out.
Offtopic rant - RIAA goes nuts when a school kid downloads a $1 song. MS doesn't make any such fuss about pirates of its OS. - Vinvin, on 06/10/2009, -0/+7The Xfce desktop looks very nice.
- Krissam, on 06/10/2009, -0/+7@paulsmith288 that's because if they went nuts about pirating of their os they'd lose their monopoly and seeing as 99% of users have no reason to use windows over any other of the major 3, they'd lose their market share.
- Waiting2awake, on 06/10/2009, -0/+7I have used Fedora since #1, and Redhat 8 prior to that. I go between Fedora and CentOs quite a bit. That is one of the things I like about Linux - you can try and try and try, using all your data on different distro's, try them out, and move on to the next one.
It should be possible for you to use a Live CD as well, so you can try it out, without touching your actual machine. What do you have to lose? - rub3nmv, on 06/10/2009, -0/+7Why not?
it works fine like that, if you don't like it, change it.
All that OS's war is just stupid. - Wesside, on 06/10/2009, -0/+7Not interested in science and programming for this one? How about magic and trolls?
- paulsmith288, on 06/10/2009, -1/+7your entitled to your view - and I use Ubuntu on the desktop - RHEL4/5 on the server.
But I still would try a new fedora release - competition is good! - stockjones, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6Ahh you beat me to it =P
- Waiting2awake, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6I see what you did there.
- SamSlater, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6Very good!
*groans* :-) - mmcgrath, on 06/10/2009, -0/+6Hell, more of the games I try work in Linux or Linux + Wine then work in Windows.
- Waiting2awake, on 06/10/2009, -0/+5I got tired of the continuous(IMO) upgrades on Fedora and decided to go to CentOS. The thing is a tank. Love it.
I am seriously lost as to why people still put up with windows and all their fees and insecurities, and, and, and. Unless there is a "must have" app like autocad, or high level photoshop, I just don't see it. - inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4 This I don't get...Just cause you had a beef with Ubuntu does not mean every version of Linux is crap...Have a little back bone and try a different distro till you find one that works for you.
I also had problems with Ubuntu and severe problems with Klikit Linux,so I moved on and found several distros that gave me no fits and starts...Fedora being one of them.
Right now I'm running Cosmosis Linux,which really floats my boat. - secrity, on 06/10/2009, -2/+6What is disapointing about it? I am using it with Kubuntu and I rather like it now. KDE4 is starting to grow on me, and 4.2.2 seems to be quite good.
- icexe, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4It's all about timing. Your visionary post was too far ahead of it's time and therefore failed to capture the imagination of the average Digg user back then.
Just like my "We Hate Win 8!" chant is also ahead of it's time and will earn me a rapid burial as well. - xngk, on 06/10/2009, -1/+5You had me at "ControlGroups".
- maz2331, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4Hardware generally works just fine. Windows application, not so much. You should stay on a Windows platform if that is your priority.
Linux is a different tool for a different job. - secrity, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4Huh? I found it quite easy to find the download link. I am in a hotel room and wgot the iso to my home machine so that I can burn it tomorrow..
- maz2331, on 06/10/2009, -0/+4I installed it, and it seems to be working just fine. It boots faster than F-10.
- esc27, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Then update it yourself. This isn't some slopped together combination of the latest packages. Everything included has gone through at least minimal testing and that takes time. The release candidate was released about a month ago. KDE 4.2.3 would have only been available for a few days at best.
- maz2331, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Every 6 months or so.
- marciot, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3I'm sticking to Fedora 10, the blue solar flare theme is awesome!
- HonoredMule, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3packagement = shorthand for package management?
- tjIT, on 06/10/2009, -1/+4Here a deep screenshot review about Fedora 11: http://www.tuxjournal.net/?p=8268
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3 Fedora makes it just as easy for newbies to get everything they need as Ubuntu..The same can be said for Mepis,Mint,Cosmosis, Sabayon, and several other versions of Linux.
Community support,I've found to be just as good for every distro I've ever tried as Ubuntu's community support. - vuke69, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3"man that sounds dumb."
There may be a reason for that. - kilimangaro, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3 First time I installed it,it was just like magic..Fedora beat the socks off XP.
- cplusplus, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3A nice feature of this release...
"Fedora 11 to get link to Exchange"
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,3965 ... - killdeer03, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3Ohhh Linux, you are the only one who truly understands me.
*sniff sniff
/Cries into G15 - KibibyteBrain, on 06/10/2009, -0/+3What college level course would have "installing software" as a lab? I remember having some CS course exercises that were very simple as a way to mostly ensure that all the students got off their ass to set up the dev environment for the course, but they always at least had SOME real intellectual exercise to them, if trivial.
- localzuk, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3An OS can't cause a disk to fail... It is just a piece of hardware, the worst it can do is mess up its file systems.
- Myztry, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2Considering how many people only really require browsers and hardly leave them, how could Linux not be ready? Most people would not have a clue how to use Photoshop or other commonly exampled applications. Sorry, but most of these 'killer apps' are actually niche products. Proprietary applications are over valued in relation to the mass of users.
- InorganicMatter, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2Now when I did that a few months ago, I got buried to hell. But when you try it, you get +25 Diggs and counting...
- inactive, on 06/10/2009, -0/+2 I'm thinking so.
Ive used Ubuntu last year and fedora...I liked fedora better.
Fedora with KDE sounds even better. -
