![]() Fedora is great, that's for sure. My only problem with it was the no-recognition of blank DVD's. Looking here and there the problem appears to be in the Grub, and a possible solution is to use Lilo instead, but I haven't tried it.

KDE4 is a lot better now than it was just a few months ago. As a media producer, one of the things I like best about Fedora are the third-party repositories like RPMfusion and PlanetCCRMA with lots of video/audio/graphics goodies. |

![]() Well, of course Fedora must run without problems on other PC's. On mine (Dell XPS M1330) it didn't, and it happens to some people, not to all people
![]() I didn't can write anything using K3b, because the system didn't see anything to write on, that was the problem. Reading CD's and DVD's was Ok, but writing... it never happened on my Fedora installation. Too bad because I really liked that distro. ![]() |

![]() hey, folks. just wanted to toss out a few words here and say that I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) and have been using Ubuntu on and off since last fall without any major problems with drivers or software.

![]() This is quite the treasure trove. Am coming to the end of a new build and been leaning towards going back to opensource OS as am not in the frame to cough up crazy monies for a full windows cd ( and tad had enough with cracks )
Could anyone recommend the linux substitute that would easily handle uif image files. Also has anyone got any tales on wine should I find myself wanting to install football manager again ![]() Thanks for all the posts already, has been quite the trip down memory lane. Just a shame I became windows brainwashed last few years |

![]() I've been using OpenSuse for the last 4 - 5 years. I have the latest version on my PC. I like the fact that it is easy to install and offers just about everything I need for home and office work.
On an old laptop, Sony Viao, I installed the latest version of Ubuntu just to see what it was like. I never got into all the compiling of source code. I'm not even sure I want to or would even understand much of what was going on or needed or necessary. I am just happy to have an OS that runs and runs and runs and runs, without freezing up on me for no real reason. I am slowly working my way into Ubuntu, thinking about taking the Viao on the road with me. Is there another distro I should give a try, before pitching my tent on Ubuntu for the laptop. I kind of steered away from Fedora because I heard that it broke easily due to the fact that it was sooo bleeding edge. But since I don't really want to hack into the global conspiracy that is the Vatican or the into Area 51, I really only want to run the standard software on it and watch the TV programs and films I download on it. Is Fedora worth giving a try? Does it really break that easily? |

![]() Hello! I currently use Ubuntu 10.4, I've been a Unix specialist for 20 years, and have worked with Linux for about 10.
I always recommend Ubuntu these days. Years ago I used to use Mandrake (now Mandriva) because it had excellent support for hardware, but these days Ubuntu has gained the necessary critical mass to become the slickest and best-supported distro in my opinion. |
