You ROCK baby

I agree with the commentary. In addition, Fedora Frog seems to address the majority of the complaints regarding not including support for media with licensing issues.

I think they're overrating the stability a little. The packages seem to be just about the newest versions available, and I've noticed a decent number of bugs. Rhythmbox, for example, freezes at random times (and takes down GNOME with it) after using Sound Juicer. The translucency and shadows in KDE 3.5 aren't perfect, sometimes they interfere with full-screen games and sometimes when I used transparency for active windows, only a small part of the window would appear until I moved it around. gnome-screensaver fades the screen to black about every 10 minutes while I'm playing a full-screen game. The installer also had problems on 2 out of the 3 computers I tried it on and kept on giving "package X cannot be found" errors at random times, and seemed dumbed-down compared to the great FC3 installer. Still, I don't mean to give it a bad name and it's definitely a good distro, it just has its problems like the others.

I've been using FC5 24x7 for several weeks on two laptops that run both heavily interactive and cron'd processes. Multimedia and games, networking, you name it. I haven't seen a single stability issue yet.

Are you sure you're not mixing incompatible repositories?

While we tend to hear about the "problem machines" in the forums, I think the vast majority of users have no issues.

I've been using Fedora for the last 6 months and by God man, i tells ya i love it. Sure let all the SuSEs, Ubuntus and all come but the stability and userness(a word in my dictionary) i've seen from it is rocking!! I've seen so many types of issues with others but not Fedora, there is something about Fedora you just can't ignore.I dunno what your problems are but i've grown with Fedora from being a 'noob' to a 'user' and also a 'better person'

Oh yeah, it's definitely a great distro (I use it for most of my stuff besides Slackware), I'm just saying there are a few buggy packages. As long as you stay away from those, though, it's fine. :smile:
