OSNews Rates Fedora Core 1 Mild Disappointment

Posted by simoniker on from the slightly-crumpled dept.

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."

    Don't miss Darl McBride at the Computer Digital Expo, Nov 18th. He will be speaking at 5pm.

    Link to Expo website

    Seriously, please go see him. He is a highly intelligent man that, despite how he has been villianized here, truly cares about OSS. The recent legal activity has been motivated as much by his desire to fix what is wrong with open source as by his desire to represent the financial interests of SCO.

    Once you hear him speak, you'll understand why he holds so much sway with CIOs everywhere. You might even change your mind about who is right and who is wrong in this whole ugly mess.

      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...

    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.
