  1. Feedback on Fedora? by dotslashdot · · Score: 0, Troll

    I wanted to try Fedora to put another feather in my Linux cap. What is good/bad about Fedora? And whasup with the Fedora/Red Hat icon guy. He looks like he's never seen the Sun.

  2. GCC Version by basingwerk · · Score: -1, Troll

    I hope the gcc on this version works better than the one on Fedora Core 1. My makefiles make bad code on FC1, and I've more or less abandoned it. Now I do most of my stuff on Solaris instead.

    cheer. I use to be a loyal Red Hat user (yes I paid for the distro), but after being abandoned by Red Hat I switched to Suse. Give it a try. It is so much better than Fedora/Red Hat. You can get it for free here

  4. So, still erasing windows partitions? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Started in FC2. Didn't bother to try and fix it for FC3. How about FC4?

    I haven't recommended trying FC{2,3} for people since that debacle, since most users I know who want to get into Linux are going to absolutely freak out when their windows partitions disappear (the fix may be simple, but why not just fix FC instead?).

  5. Debian by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    Personally, I think Debian is a much better choice. That's what we use now, after migrating our RH boxes to Debian.

    If Fraunhofer decided to get enforce it's rights, and take a patent royal, what percentage of the $0, the amount I pay for Fedora Core, do you suppose they should get? 10%, 100%, 1000000%? How do you declare patent royalties on something a company gives away for free?
