Fedora 15 Review:
-Keeps telling Chris his hard drive is bad
-Liked that Add/Remove software promoted me to run my new software
-Liked that when new software ran, it told me it needs more packages instead of crashing
-Virtual Machine happily fetched the needed packages
-3D Acceleration worked for my ATI Radeon 58xx
-Two System Update apps? – No icons just named the same, one is for sources, one is updates. Why a separate app just for update sourceS?

    Brian & Chris- I have listened to your show for a while. And while I have liked it, I finally need to say something. You guys have severe issues!! If any distro isn’t the way you want it to be, you just attack it verbally. I just now watched your Fedora 15 review. It is completely insulting to Fedora. It’s just as if Brian says to his wife ” I love you and think you are so sexy”, and then pulls out a magnum and blows her brains out!! Guys, distros do not, thankfully, have to be the way you want them. You guys are not computer smart. Oh, and Chris, all you had to do was Google ‘fedoraplus’ and you could have installed that and installed codecs, apps. I know more about computers than you do, and I am a newbie!!!! Guys, GET A LIFE, And apologize to fedora!!!!!

    Hey, I know why this guy on the right hates Fedora. Because he tries to sell a proprietary application that he knows will never be shipped with Fedora. AND he knows that Ubuntu have plans to make an AppStore just like Apple… Hum… That explain his Fedora hate a lot. (I’m an Arch user BTW).

    Bryan, I wonder what your thoughts would be on Geany vs Gedit?

    That explains your Ubuntu hate a lot.

    That is probably because you are painting a wide brush from a few experiences.

    Hilarious. The only thing I want to say and maybe I’m in a dark place, but all distros need to be mindful that a distro is only as widely available as your bootloader allows it to be and is only as good as the bootloader. This week alone I have tried several distros that I won’t name, they were all non-starters because they are using ancient bootloaders and I’m running SATAs in raid. A few months ago I became RHEL Linux oriented not because I don’t like Debian or its children, but it is an easier sell for clients. So I’ve been using CentOS as a primary VPS (getting ready to add a second instance) and in virtual and decided to commit on the desktop to really help me learn the system more thoroughly and get it to be second nature.

    Guess what, I guess I’ve used Debian centric distros so much I was just certain that everything else would access drives as easily. I have PCBSD, Windows 7, Pardus, and Ubuntu all booting off of two different hard drives. I’m not going to be too hard on Fedora primarily because Oracle Solaris 11 Express is also using an boot loader that can’t access some MODERN disk set ups, but everyone is claiming to have these next gen OSes right.

    I will admit to pretty much using Ubuntu pretty much as I do Mac OS X, but that’s primarily because I can spend more time working on projects than getting the OS to a usable state so I can work on the project. However, after a few months of configuring IPtables, adding repositories, even using RPM a bit more recently than Yum, assigning ports and other routine stuff, I was looking forward to doing the same on the desktop. Knowing that SELinux is pretty secure I’m pretty disbelieving that they would make all these advance and then not pay attention to the bootloader.

    Based on what you’re saying, maybe they did me a favor not being able to load it. Well listening to your review up there, my post is much shorter than it would have been. Thanks for speaking for me. Great show. I am now a fan.

    you know what i can’t believe they missed? there’s no freaking office application! well unless you count gedit.

    I realize this is 2 months after you posted this but i’ve just got to say i swear if you were in front of me right now i would smash you face in. not for you opinions but just for being so dam smug. you seam so totally shore of your own superiority to everyone else here (apparently including the hosts).

    I do agree with GNOME3 default F15 theme, however some comments are just simply “WTF?”  Not really sure why would Flash install yum package provided by Adobe is somehow Fedora’s issue.  If you have looked at ‘adobe-release-xxx-1.0-1.noarch.rpm’, it’s only repo files, not flash.  Can’t really blame yum or Fedora because of Adobe’s retarded packaging for users.  Not really sure what distro actually installs flash so files in proper plugin directory via yum install route.  Also Apple trailer preview isn’t exactly playable by ANY distros without proprietary codec installed.  So why is this even a surprise?  After the GNOME3 review, majority of reviews just sounded like whining about nothing.  There are more legitimate issues with Fedora 15 than bunch of grown men whining.  To say otherwise is just disservice to Linux Users everywhere.
