Initial Reactions to Fedora Core 5

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the always-seem-to-have-a-long-road-ahead dept.

Ki writes to tell us that he has put up a short review of Fedora Core 5 which covers the install and general first impressions to the new release. The author highlights several quirks in the installation and a few problems getting down to business, but overall the Fedora team seems to have made some very good progress.

  1. What I get from the article... by Penguin+Programmer · · Score: 0, Troll

    Seems to me that the gist of the article is that FC5:

    - Has hardware compatibility problems
    - Has a pretty new installer that may or may not work properly
    - Has the same new versions of programs as the new versions of every other distro
    - Isn't setup to be n00b-friendly by default, with the lack of a regular user account and a graphical package manager

    Sounds like it's still the same shitty, undertested distro it's always been. I'll be sticking with Ubuntu as my distro of choice and recommendation to new Linux users.
