Did they get the dell laptop modem issue fixed? couldn't find a driver for that to save my life. It's the only thing really keeping me from dumping windows on my lappy all together.
Am I the only Linux user to think this is not newsworthy? A new release of many distros happens monthly, let alone a test beta.Wake me when the actual FC5 is out.
I am installing FC4 because it is the OS of choice for a particular app (Packetfence). But I am very disappointed with Yum. Might as well be RPM with a cron job. Jafar might like yum, but I like the straight-out-of -the-box, one-stop-shopping experience w/ Suse YAST2 or Debian Synaptic. I normally use Ubuntu. Ubuntu is tops (if you can manage to fix the xorg.conf and get a decent X resolution).

Whoever said yum is lame obviously haven't used it for long.I use Yum, and trust me, I find it more configurable than Yast / Synaptic.Flame away.

The new clearlooks theme looks alot like the Royale msstyle. :)Im downloading the x64 DVD, I think Fedora is one of the more polished distros.

I love how everyone says fedora ripped off windows. Where did windows get it's interface from? Hmm..... Apple anyone? Where did Microsoft get the idea for a mouse, from Apple you say, what's that Apple took that from Xerox. So many young people on these boards who have no idea. So many people whom have never even used linux before 2.6 was dropped. If you want to flame try running LFS (Linux From Scratch) or Gentoo. I agree on fedora being bloated. A lot of times it's still preconfigured for a server setup instead of a client machine. Here is a link of a video that is pretty cool of how the kernel tree has grown.<a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3980960436439135937&q=kernel">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3980960436439135937&q=kernel</a><a class="user" href="http://xamox.NET">http://xamox.NET</a>

From about Core 2 on was the point when I realized just how much a dissapointment Fedora/Red Hat are. I've moved on...bleh, who cares about Fedora.

I have never liked RedHat and really don't care for Fedora. I would rather use SuSE or Mandriva if I was going to use an RPM based distro.
