Has anybody on the list downloaded a copy of fedora yet? And what do people think of the whole RHL/fedora thing (I hope I'm not opening a big can of worms!) as the register have an interesting take on it all http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/33823.html
I downloaded fedora RC3 the other day and am installing Fedora Core 1 right now. My thoughts on RC3 were that it was quite nice and clicky, everything was in the right place by default. It detected hardware very well indeed (much better than Mandrake 9.2 on the same machine) configured the CD-Writer with no problems at all.
I think it will be good for newbies, (kinda funny given the Redhat CEOs(?) comment on saying people should stick to windows for the desktop! Anyhow time will tell if newbies like it as my parents are going to have not much of a choice in the matter.
