      The difference: fedora bugs have solution and the community can do the patch. While windows seven eleven you have to hit your head with the wall until windows seven twelve :). No brain leave for that time. Thanks I like natural juiced instead of any bad and expensive imitation.

      More like you report a bug and if you're lucky to not get it marked WONTFIX then the community may or may not get around to getting a patch done by Fedora 14.

      Well then go fix it yourself. The source is there and it is easy to rebuild packages yourself.

    It's nice to see desktop linux finally reach feature parity with Windows 98! Year of the Linux Desktop!

    Welcome to 1998, folks! I'd have expected quite a bit more than this. What a let-down.

  6. Fedora? by Prien715 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Maybe I'm weird, but does anyone actually use Fedora anymore?

    Ubuntu's the "Mac" version of Linux: cool, new but based on a much older awesome product (i.e. BSD, Debian), easy to maintain. Fedora still feels stuck in 1999 as far as I've used it; except it now detects drivers properly, but it's remarkably consistent and everyone uses the "enterprise" products and the company survives by appealing to large businesses (sounds a bit like MS in terms of business model and priorities).

    Now I realize they're both open-source companies and RH has had payed for some of the kernel development. But if Red Hat had a phone, it wouldn't even be as cool as a KIN...and that's a low bar.

    Having used both rpm and apt for a long time now in a sysadmin setting, I can say that both have their pluses and minuses. rpm to me has a much more professional feel to it IMHO

    You were using RPM and APT (which are not even the same class of thing) and concluded that RPM is more professional? Hahhha, OK. I'm gonna go ahead and conclude that you were using them as static files to test long-term CD archival capabilities then ;)
