Fedora Core 2 Dud or Dodo?
darth_silliarse writes "Linux.com have posted an interesting review Fedora Core 2, which includes reference to the now famous Windows/Fedora Core 2 dual booting "feature". My favorite quote "Unfortunately, all of FC2's admirable qualities cannot save it from its congenital defects. These range from annoyances such as broken audio drivers to the abomination known as Gnome 2.6, and are serious enough to make the Fedora Project's second litter of pups unsuitable for any use other than as laboratory animals." Quite a indictment don't you think? My fav distro is SuSE but I'm interested to hear others views about this review..."
The poor inocent person trying to switch from Windows still is years away from using Linux. Many geeks like us still dont grasp how far away linux is for clueless users. I mean Windows is shit and crappy, but novice users can use it, the interface is somewhat consistent and they can ask friends for help. My mom simply memorizes how to do things in windows and writes everything down on paper when I explain her how to do the most trivial things. I mean shes been using windows for 4 years and still doesnt understand the 'window' concept. I dont see my mom ever touching a linux machine. Maybe a Mac some day (I own one.)
Face it, linux is geek-only territory for now.
It's Redhat, what'd you expect?
