Fedora 8 A Serious Threat to Ubuntu
Tubs writes "According to MadPenguin.org's latest article, Fedora 8 from Red Hat is a serious threat to Ubuntu. The author writes, "I was never that swept up with past releases of Fedora. There was nothing compelling about it. But for the first time, I cannot help but feel that the Fedora team has been spoon fed an extra helping of Wheaties, which has put them into overdrive with their accessibility efforts."
Agreed; Fedora is a waste of time because of the upgrade cycle and lack of stability. Not even close to being a challenge to Ubuntu.
Wake me up when Fedora is a better desktop client than Vista on modern HW!
So when you say your cock is bigger than his, does that mean longer, thicker, perhaps a more pronounced head, or just kind of meatier?
which has put them into overdrive with their accessibility efforts.
No offense to those who need "accessibility" features, but for the rest of us, that phrase translates to "we spent far too much effort putting in crap that 99.9% of our users have no use for, often sacrificing real functionality because it wouldn't play well with screenreaders or braille TTYs".
Thanks, but no thanks - Call me callous, but I simply don't care about "accessibility". Call me sociocentric, but I don't care about i18n. Call me an FSF heathen, but I don't care about binary modules (as long as they work) or the legality of using Windows codecs. Call me Ishmael, but just get me that goddamned whale!
I just want what most of us want - Results; An OS that works for me, a speaker of English with a fully-working set of human senses and a collection of media files that includes QT, RM, and yes, even a bit of WM.
