I think it's a great distro and it was the distro I switched to when decided to use Linux as my primary OS -- Fedora 6 time frame. I've since moved to Debian after a brief stop in Ubuntu land. Ubuntu is a disaster for anything but the most vanilla setups. It's one of the least stable mainstream distro's I have ever used (I've used 8.04, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10) I'm using Debian Lenny right now and I am anxiously awaiting Debian Squeeze. I'm not really that happy with Debian Lenny because of the age of the packages and the lack of any commitment for a release date, however the stability of the system is ideal. I had considered moving to F12, which I do run on my laptop (4GB Lenovo T400s) and my netbook, but I have 3 monitors using to Nvidia cards on my desktop and there was bug that broke support for multiple monitors with the closed source nvidia drivers that made F12 no work on my desktop. There has since been a patch but incidents like that and moving to Thunderbird 3 before it was a stable release with no option to downgrade to Thunderbird 2 without do my own install/config/setup. Made me seriously reconsider Fedora for my workstation. I understand the need to push the envelop with the latest tech in Fedora, but it hurts Fedora from becoming a techies workstation. At the end of the day I need to get work done and not fix problems with my OS. <br /><br />It would be great if every other release of Fedora was a workstation release which addressed the issues of the previous version and was supported with critical bug / updates for 18 - 24 months. That's the distro I would happily use on all of my computers including my 2 servers (both of which run Debian Lenny).Moseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01631746915232812207noreply@blogger.com
