Well, I installed Fedora3, some how I was happy. Later, I realized I should go back to Mandrake, much easier & friendly that fedora3. Fedora has so many things that don'k work:

1- Sound. Of course, this is the number one problem. No sound = no movies, no CD player, no radios, no MP3s, etc. Half of the computer usage is gone!

2- Yum. This yum thing I had a hard time trying to make it work right. Installing a package using yum is a PITA.

3- No support for NTFS . How many people out there have XP and Linux in the same manchine? I know many who do have both systems. This is unacceptable to me! I compiled my onw kernel to get the NTFS. I compiled the kernel so many times trying to get the sound working, no luck! I googled the net for help, found some, but Fedora refuses to relinquish the sound. This thing is mute big time, man!

I guess is that way to reflect Redhat marketing strategic: You need it working? Pay me! Why they release something that is broke?

How can I say: Look Mon, it works just like Windows?


There is not questions that Mandrake is superior than Fedora, specially for people interested in multimedia stuff, or people moving or trying to learn Linux. Too bad that they changed the name to Mandrive? They should have called it MDK Linux.

Worked fine for me, and mp3's after I installed mp3 support.

Again, this was pretty painless for me, maybe you could post what your problems were

And by no support for NTFS, you mean not the new driver that came out. The old one I installed worked fine for getting files off an external NTFS drive I had laying around. (And this was a year ago)

1) Also worked for me.

2) Well "google" and you might find some help, one place that helped me was http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_cor...ion_notes.html

3) Same as above.
