Fedora 9 won't be released until Tuesday.

- autoatsakiklis, on 05/11/2008, -2/+21Linux is not a webserver.
- kingofpenguins, on 05/11/2008, -5/+29I'm surprised that GTK programs in KDE aren't by default using something to make them look less ugly.

I'm sure that one of those could have been used by default. - mcduck, on 05/11/2008, -1/+21MIRROR: http://grense.no/linux/ (Images only)
- wwnexc, on 05/11/2008, -1/+16Time to fire up vmware and make a new virtual machine :D
- rauz, on 05/11/2008, -1/+16Thousands of pixels wasted on superfluous padding, icons lacking a coherent theme (different use of metaphors, shadows coming from all directions etc), extremely tightly kerned text in tiny font sizes etc etc. I know the user can change these factors if he, or she, would like to (after all, it's Linux) but why not make the GUI look right from the start?
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -6/+23Fedora looks ugly? Ubuntu doesn't? What? Ubuntu is a great OS, but has a very ugly default interface. Fedora has the best looking in the Linux world, in my opinion.
- SkySeven, on 05/11/2008, -0/+13One of the areas I'd like to see the KDE folks improve on is the task bar. Why does it have to be so huge? The extra large clock and icons give it a cheap feel.
(I know you can change it but having the default like this isn't good for first impressions)

- Paranormalized, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11That's not what "released" means.
- cplusplus, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11Give it time to spread to the mirrors.

Is this joke over my head? Am i missing something? - TheSeeker11, on 05/11/2008, -1/+10Welcome to Digg, Satan :)
- tolbs, on 05/11/2008, -0/+8hooray crappy comment system:

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4181147/Fedora_9_x86_6 ... - Coestar, on 05/11/2008, -0/+8For those who are asking, the screenshots feature the DEFAULT look for KDE4. Fedora's Gnome implementation is a much better working environment right now, equal to Ubuntu's Gnome. I tried using KDE4 as a workspace via Kubuntu for awhile and it was absolutely awful. If you want to see a KDE4 implementation that isn't awful, you could try the latest Suse, but I couldn't gut using that one on a daily basis either.
- mcmlxxii, on 05/11/2008, -3/+11Plenty images so prob bandwidth. I don't know much about IIS but I'm guessing it doesn't have a checkbox for "quadruple my upload speed". It does have a checkbox for "do you agree to these draconian terms and conditions" though, IIRC.
- tolbs, on 05/11/2008, -0/+10For the impatient (like me :) ), TPB has some torrents:

haven't tried yet, good luck! - burgermeiste, on 05/11/2008, -6/+15Sulphur is where I live. No joke.
- autoatsakiklis, on 05/11/2008, -1/+8It's GTK2 apps that look ugly in KDE.
- solidcube, on 05/11/2008, -8/+18It's funny to me that people are saying this looks bad. And something tells me they are Ubuntu fanboys. I am a Ubuntu fanboy too, but Ubuntu has the worst looking default desktop possible. The color scheme is absolutely repulsive, to the point where it almost makes me gag (who came up with that horrid flesh color?)
- deadbaby, on 05/11/2008, -4/+14Ewww. The older versions of Fedora looked a lot better. This theme just isn't designed very well.
1) Why are the icons so massive?
2) Why are the font sizes so inconsistent? menu fonts are tiny, taskbar fonts are HUGE, root menu fonts are huge
3) No matching Firefox theme installed by default?
4) Why are the toolbar icons so massive & inconsistent?
5) Why doesn't the window border/control theme match the taskbar theme at all?
6) Very poor font selection or perhaps very poor font rendering.
7) The taskbar layout doesn't look very efficient. Lots of wasted space. - helloyamadotcom, on 05/11/2008, -5/+12It must stink...
- scilec, on 05/11/2008, -1/+9I realize that this is about the upcoming release of Fedora 9, but I have a few grievances about KDE 4 that I just have to share...
As a long-time Fedora / KDE user, I've been playing with KDE 4 on both Kubuntu and Fedora distros. While I realize that KDE 4 is still a "work in progress", I would seriously hope that the KDE team is taking a good, hard look at making some serious cosmetic changes. My biggest complaint about KDE 4 is that everything is just too... big. The default theme that's installed with KDE 4 has a way of even making the desktop on my wide-screen monitor feel claustrophobic. Furthermore, I absolutely hate the new Vista-like start menu, which forces you to visually navigate your application tree one branch at a time. One of the first things I did after installing KDE 4 was to install the old KDE 3-style kicker menu. As a devoted KDE user, I sincerely hope that the dev/design teams work out some of these issues quickly. - allywilson, on 05/11/2008, -1/+8I like how they were using KDE and then had a section underneath dedicated to looking at KDE...
- altf4me, on 05/11/2008, -0/+7He's just testing it.
- Darkx1337, on 05/11/2008, -1/+7I like the background. To bad my D-link card won't work on Fedora. :(
- nizzy1115, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6I agree with you, but that is why we have different choices. For me i choose fedora over ubuntu because it works much better out of the box on my dell laptop than ubuntu does.
- surreal1111, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6can we please ditch the windows95 rip off interface? there are better ways to design a UI... whatever happened to enlightenment.org at least that had an alternative and damn pretty method..
- InspectorGadget, on 05/11/2008, -9/+17Those are some UGLY screenshots...Firefox isn't even themed. I'm also not a fan of the KDE 4 default window decoration, as the underlying new code shows great promise but the initial round of execution is hideous. The whole thing at this point looks like a Fisher-Price knockoff of Windows Vista - an ugly OS to begin with. Here's to hoping that the design work progresses as well as the coding.
- rlbond86, on 05/12/2008, -1/+6I wanted to make a joke, but it's still compiling.
- Coestar, on 05/11/2008, -3/+8Is this even serious? These screenshots only show the (severely crippled) KDE desktop, while Fedora is a KDE/Gnome distro (stronger in Gnome right now). They aren't showing ***** here. You'd be better off just downloading the preview, doing a yum -y upgrade, and seeing for yourself.
- jivemasta, on 05/11/2008, -5/+11Who the ***** cares what it looks like? I don't get this whole Fedora Vs. Ubuntu battle, they are basically the same concept, with different gui. This is why linux will never become a contender in the OS arena, there is too much rivalry between what should be teammates.
- FFLord, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6It's more of a storyline joke, its not really that funny, but you would have to read a good deal of the comic strip to get it.
On a side note, XKCD would have been a better choice if he was going to submit it to dig... - tolbs, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5i wouldn't give KDE a further look then a spin through a VMware image....It's really, really unstable..promising...but very unstable.
- oasmar1, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5FreeBSD 7.0 looks really good actually, FreeBSD is really improving, especially over the last couple of years.
- MethodOne, on 05/12/2008, -0/+5It's a kernel. GNU/Linux is the operating system they're using. They're most likely using Apache for a web server.
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -2/+7I think it looks nice for the most part, except for some reason they decided to go with GNOME's awful default icon theme.
- b3n87, on 05/11/2008, -2/+8so how is it a "leak" when its open source and publicly available all the time?
- jasarien, on 05/11/2008, -2/+8GTFO
- MavRevMatt, on 05/11/2008, -2/+8That's not the point. If Linux ever wants to break into the market share of Windows and OS X it needs to look good. Most people don't change the defaults for appearance other than wallpapers and maybe some other things. This isn't the right way to think if Linux wants to go anywhere.
- Mechanicat, on 05/11/2008, -3/+8KDE has always been like ugly like that. It just gives me the creeps.
- Whackly, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6This comment is like a mule with a spinning wheel...
- greydonkey, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5"Distro I'm building= Epic".
Pah! My Distro I'M building. Makes your distro look like a bucket of Fail, coated in dung. - Moduliz0r, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4lies
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4Don't forget gtk-qt-engines-kde4 (at least that's the package name in Ubuntu).
- deadbaby, on 05/11/2008, -1/+5People are vain bitches. They WILL judge the entire OS by how the default theme looks. It's worth making some effort to at least offer a cohesive theme out of the box.
