KDE 3.5 is a solid desktop environment (not a fan of Gnome because of its lack of configurability, but that's just me. Also, KDE4.0 is a little immature in my opinion, so Fedora is really bleeding-edge here -- I've tried 4.0 and I would definitely not consider it ready) and Amarok kicks iTunes' ass (some people consider Amarok bloated -- but compared to iTunes its footprint is tiny). A lot of the most-used software is cross-platform nowadays (Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice...though I run MS Office under WINE), so Linux is perfect for a lot of people (a dual-boot setup allows you to play games when you want while still having access to a more secure, non-crashing OS with no threat [CURRENTLY] of viruses). Again, I should mention that I use Slackware and the command-line, so I'm your atypical computer user, but if I had to return to Windows as my daily OS (I don't mind it every once in a while...) I would be very upset. Automation in Linux rocks. If you want to do something complicated, it's easier in Linux than in Windows because of scripting (I understand OS X has some nifty graphical automation tool, but again, I've never tried it).

You can either get "OK OS for a lot of money", "Good OS for free", or "Good [or excellent depending on who you talk to] OS for a TON of money". It's your choice -- and I choose the free one.]]>May 14th 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/May 13th 2008 9:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/May 13th 2008 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/May 13th 2008 10:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/May 13th 2008 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/I hate orange...]]>May 13th 2008 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/May 14th 2008 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/13/fedora-9-sulphur-makes-its-way-into-the-world/

The naming of Fedora (and before that Red Hat Linux) releases is interesting. All release names must be 'related' from one release to the next, and must not be directly related to the release prior to that (i.e. only connected via the last release). Figuring out what that connection is shouldn't be too hard really.

Search google for 'redhat behind_the_names' to learn about RHL names (its how the trend started for Fedora).

Now, now. Just because it doesn't run on YOUR hardware doesn't mean it doesn't run on ours.

That's hardly a valid reason to call an OS a failure and "screw" it.
