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."

Expected Outcome

[nurb432]

Desktop linux is now unimportant to Redhat, so we should expect any efforts from them in that market to be dismal, at best.

They have moved on from their customer base, so its time for us to move on to something else that has a longer term future on the desktop, be it Debian, Slackware, even *BSD..

( just sort of suprised it happened THIS fast.. )

Re:Linux is DEAD. Long Live *BSD

[Bendebecker]

BSD won't go anywhere becuase all their games suck. The emulated roms on windows work better than some of the games that exist on BSD. No, I take that back, the emulated roms to 20 year old systems that exist on windows are better than ALL of the games on BSD. The only thing BSD is good for is a server for Windows games (which BSD can't even play right.) Until BSD gets better games, BSD will never get anywhere. Maybe a better installer might help too. And better configuration tools. And ease of use could definitely be improved...
