SoulSe Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I still haven't tried Fedora... been meaning to though... ....and arch and debian and and and... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 And Fedora is great and you should try it :P Bare in mind though, it does not have NTFS support built into the kernel, it has mp3 disabled, so you need to grab a plugin (from somewhere like Freshrpms), and it doesn't have xine or mplayer as a package, so you have to get them, and all the dependant software (again from somewhere like freshrpms). It is however blooming fast - I'd say from feel alone, my Fedora Core 1 test 3 runs about 1/3 faster than my Mandrake10. Further, it uses the latest kernels, and also has SELinux installed. Finally, it can use both apt and yum update technologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Well, all of those annoyances made the migration of Red Hat (a bit overly conservative if you ask me). Anyway, I would run it with my own vanilla kernel anyhow. Do you use Yum or Apt4Rpm? How is Yum (never used it)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yum - I'm on a uni network that has locked down certain things like BT... for some reason this also means that apt is knocked-out. Yum works fine, very nice, sorts all your dependencies in much the same way as apt, and is now integrated into the RHN up2date gui, for those who want gui instead of cli. Oh I forgot, whatever you do, if you want samba and smbfs, upgrade the samba package straight-away - some fool at samba broke smbfs for 4 pre. versions (all used in the new kernels) the new one works, but I don't have Core2 yet so I don't know which one they have in it... guess thats the price to pay for having bleeding edge...

zero0w Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Looks like they didn't learn the lesson from Mandrake 10 CE: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/4896 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_b...g.cgi?id=115980 Take caution when you install FC2 on a Windows/Linux dual boot system, or hold it for an update release/patch to this problem.

SoulSe Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 The campaign to destroy your 'doze partitions continues.... So I'll just say: don't have one, so the problem isn't a problem to me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Please note those torrents aren't actually official so you should check the MD5SUMS and gpg signitures against those shown at: http://livna.org/~anvil/fc2-torrents.txt Or you could wait until 10EST today and get the official iso's from just about any mirror.
