G'day! Why is f16 so crap? Is it because otherwise people wouldn't buy RHEL or are RH developers a bunch of m0r0ns?

Use another flavour of linux.

It looks as though I had a lucky escape. I thought I'd try it but came across this sort of stuff pretty quickly: Fedora forbidden items.Originally posted by petergriffin View Post
Nope, not going to happen. I ain't going to buy new hardware just because some pedant has a thing about proprietary software.Fedora Suggests: Consider using a graphics adapter from Intel or any other manufacturer that provides full specifications or source code.
Meanwhile, off we go to openSUSE 12.1.
Installs beautifully, looks nice etc.
Out of the first 3 apps I wanted to do some serious work with:
- first one has 90% of the options I want to access greyed out
- second one has a very niggling prompt asking me if I have compiled it with the spell checker? Nope - grab source, recompile with/without spell checker. Still same annoying prompt.
- third one crashes shortly after launch
Boot to Gparted CD, zap partition, install Linux Mint.Last edited by Sysman; 25 November 2011, 20:36.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Linux is a great server OS but Windows 7 kills it on the desktop.Comment

And if you have a low spec hardware you can't run Windows 7 unless you like rebooting frequently."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

No F way! I use other Linux distros and Netbsd for myself but I had to train for an interview and they run Crapora on both servers and clients. Eventually I settled for Centos and it works like a charm (I still wouldn't use it for myself though).Originally posted by d000hg View Post
And then, I mean, Windows server side? Ho do you ssh into Windows?
EDIT: ... but I can see why Linux gets a bad name recently: Fedora, Ubuntu, Opensuse, flawed and bloated by default...<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment

openSUSE 12.1 is looking OK with KDE 4.7.
Windows 7 on modest hardware is appallingly slow; also needs re-boots.Comment
