OSNews Rates Fedora Core 1 Mild Disappointment

JigSaw writes "OSNews has reviewed the Fedora Core 1 Linux distro, but the author personally found lots of usability problems and bugs with the distro, making Fedora Core a trying experience. The writer puts the blame on poor QA of Fedora Core 1 done by its community, since Red Hat has shifted focus to Enterprise, with Fedora serving merely as a testbed for them."

Re:PARENT's A TROLL

[erroneus]

Well I guess you would know better than anyone else whether or not your parent is a troll, but really... isn't a troll a mythical creature? Of course, I once thought midgets weren't real... that they were clever camera tricks first developed for the then famous "Willy Wonka" movie that, when I was four years old, I found to be both creepy and frightening.

But let's assume that trolls are still classified as mythical creatures and that you are aware of this fact. I can only assume that you are attempting to insult your parent which I find is rather disrespectful, though paradoxical in a way since if you parent was good, you would have been taught better than to call your parent a troll. Further, you are insulting yourself at the same time as your parent often defines your expectations of life and in a real sense, your identity.

Oh wait... you mean the message was written to spur a negative reaction from the readership. Oh, I get it now...

Re:Remove Gnome from Fedora (Socre : 5, Insightful

[unoengborg]

Both Gnome and KDE have some rough edges. What's needed is not dropping Gnome or KDE. Instead we need to make the choise between the two be a choise for developers and not for users.

That is, let Gnome be skinnable to look like KDE, and KDE skinnable to look like Gnome. Then make sure that drag & drop etc work well between the two environments. By doing this the users would have a large set of applications that worked well and looked good together on the end user desktop.
