Fedora Core 2 owns me

[AbecX]

Jesus, this is the absolute BEST desktop distro I have ever seen. I plugged in a usb mouse randomly, and it worked, scroll and everything.... Default installation is clean smooth fast, I just cant think of enough good things to say right now because I'm really busy. Ximian owns massively, so much cleaner of an interface than any MS stuff I've ever seen.... I'm hooked.


Good help page btw

I have not used fedora yet... I hear it is good. Im installing suse9.1 on a second machine right now... ive heard it is good as well :)

Very nice install. Also nice it already has the 2.6 kernel.

I've liked it so for for some snort box installs.

for now I just loaded 2000 on this machine it is for the garage anyway... so its all good.. but that shit just pissed me off..

i wanted suse but its a huge and bloted distro and i dont wanna have to donwload 4+gigs to install it. i may have to just buy it.

It took about 5 hours to install from ftp.suse.com (probably would of went faster if I used an alternate mirror overseas ones are generally the faster ones), i did a pretty good size install and it was 3.5GB. I like that fact that nvidia and ati drivers are included.. realplayer is included... A lot of apps and games are included with the distro. It is very nice...

but... SuSE only has integration with KDE :yuk: If I am going to use a desktop it will be gnome (suse does not setup any of the menu items in gnome).. otherwise I will use fluxbox.

If you like KDE, suse kicks.. if its your first time to use linux.. suse kicks. But I will stick with slackware :)

As for fedora... I will give it a try soon!

i dont have the cd's.. did an ftp install :(

I bet cd's will come around soon though.. last i heard yast was or is supposed to be gpl'ed.. I bet iso's will be available after that..

if you really want to install it.. rsync you the mirror for a couple days :)

Is that a big deal? WinXP has done the same thing for years. Hell, Win2K has done it since... well, 2000. :D

downloading the dvd iso of core 2 and going to try that shit one more time... just to see how it is.... but after that off with its head :D
