    I don't have to run Fedora at all, but it doesn't do the community any good for me to be reporting bugs and errors in Core 1 when they're all testing Core 3 now does it? The quick release schedule smacks of arrogance. That's why I compared it to 98. It seems to be all about getting the latest and greatest to the masses instead of making sure things work and doing it right. (Or do you honestly think all the bugs in FC2 have been corrected?) What scares me is that Redhat claims this is a testing ground for new features in their enterprise products... Good grief! Why do we continually have to live with buggy and crappy programs in REAL releases? Because the bleeding edge folk don't finish the job, that's why.

    This crap is really getting old, stop trying to place blame only on Fedora dev's when every distro with 2.6 kernel has this problem okay?

    FUD yourself.

    Uno word: Gentoo

    and I meant to add:

    I don't care if everyone under the sun had it. The question stands: will this cause the same issue? I don't even care if it's actually Microsoft's fault, you think they're going to do a damn thing to fix it?
