=C4mne: Re: [OT:] Migrating From Red Hat Linux 9.0


I was pretty unhappy with Red Hat, what with the obscene cost of ES and
all.
Most of the other distributions look like they are intended for people
who
want to spend their lives being system administrators, and I expected
Fedora
to be the same.

With only a few weeks experience, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Looks
like the only thing you miss with Fedora is the emails from Red Hat.
The
little blue/red dot at the bottom of the screen serves that purpose,
up2date
is the same, and the release seems to be a significant ratchet up from
RH9.

So far, I'm a happy camper.
