I've heard some people having problems with Fedora Core 1 on IRC and OSNews gives it a "Moderate dissapointment"
My question is if Fedora Core does not get enough community support and it turns out to be a disaster, will Red Hat reorganize it's community software efforts or become more active in the Fedora Project?
I've noticed a significant amount of instability in Ximian's GNOME packages, after using them for over a year or so. Ximian's Abiword I could never get barely to work and since it's a lightweight wordprocessor replacement to soffice, it's a shame. So what did I do? I used Red Carpet, like Ximian says, to uninstall ximian packages to remove the Ximian desktop and what happened? It rendered my box useless, had to reinstall. I was a subscriber to Red Carpet Express as well. Until Ximian opts for a little more stability, I'll stick with Red Hat's GNOME packages. It seems GNOME that comes with Red Hat 7.3 is pretty up to date and nicely done.
For anyone who wants to uninstall ximian packages and not do what I did, you can try:
rpm -ve --nodeps `rpm -vqa | grep ximian`
and then use apt or something to reinstall the regular GNOME packages.
There are assholes in this world and there are assholes in this world. They come in many shapes and sizes: educated or not. Personally I think what pays of is hard work. Many a people have started out in jobs on the low end of the totem pole only to work their way up in advancement. It's the American Dream.
I recently chatted with a guy from SomaFM, he said their servers run Linux. I would like to know what are the specs of these machines and maybe what's the longest uptime they've had.
Definitely more on Linux, considering the books and lately I've been buying boxed sets. Started out with cheap copies of distros from LinuxMall.com. But I've recently acquired a burner I'll probably d/l my next upgrade. However the *nix books keep coming in, as I'm trying to learn more about the OS and it's functions. And at average $30/book it adds up.

mind you, if this is done in text mode and not gui ...
um, if you see what packages are being removed....
JUST the ximian packages, the system may be missing a few things but with the reinstall of GNOME, it should work.
