  1. I thought the review was pretty spot on on Fedora Core 2 Dud or Dodo? · · Score: 1

    Of course some things are off, but that's to be expected. I experienced all of the same annoyances and more, mostly caused by GNOME b0rking. The only bit I don't understand is the author should understand this distro is pretty hot off the fryer, and it's not going to be extremely polished so criticisms in that regard are kind of silly. But he does have a point in that, Fedora and RedHat are generally centered around GNOME, and the fact that GNOME is kind of broken (especially when you update the gnomelibs with up2date) really takes away from the party.

    Other than Nautilus' strange retro-throwback navigation, the Add/Remove packages app exhibiting odd behaviour, and up2date trashing all the config files, I was very impressed with how everything was set up. It's probably also one of the most responsive and fast distros I've ever used as well. If they're building on top of that, it'll be interesting to see it when it's more mature.
