SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!

You nimrods of the redhat community better be reading this:

I do NOT need a new OS install every three weeks. I know some of you my not have lives, but try to understand those of us who do...

Listen, A new core every year would be great. It doesn't need to be a race. Improve what you need to improve on the platform you have, otherwise you'll end up like Windows 98. Remember that monstrosity? Think it can't happen to you?

Think again.

Re:Anybody else have problems?

Red Hat clearly stated that they intended Fedora to be a bleeding edge development project. Sort of RawHide as a replacement for their packaged box distributions.

They don't seem to understand why people might be a bit upset about this.

If you mind not spreading fud and educating yourself have a look at This Page Which tells you how to not only recover the problem, but avoid it all together.

My god. Have you seen how big it is?

I'm sorry, but I (like many others out there) am lazy. There is no way in hell I'm going through all those steps to ensure that this doesn't happen. Because knowing my luck, I'll get into a problem that these instructions don't cover and then I don't have a bootable PC.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll wait until this 2.6 bug (as your link calls it) is fixed and then I'll think about getting off Redhat 9.
