how do u like it? i m wishing to have a change.

I'm assuming you mean the latest thing from Redhat that is not "Redhat 9.0".

I have not tried it and I didn't even know it was released.

I've been trying to download it, but the servers are always too busy :S

well, i can't get it either. anyway, i wonder if it's possible that some one can post a screenshot of fedora.

Been too busy for me too... I'll wait a week or so I guess.. unless some more mirrors open up

I'm willing to take a bet that it'll look alot like gnome

or kde.

Use BitTorrent to download it.

I used bittorrent to download it.

Install went smoothly, I even tried upgrading a 'stock' RedHat Linux 9 system on a different PC and it worked perfectly without messing anything up, which is very impressive.

It's not a huge change from RedHat Linux 9, it's basically 9 with gnome 2.4, other updated packages, and new configuration tools. Gnome 2.4 is of course excellent (I hate KDE and never install it so someone else can comment on it). The new Displays control panel is very nice, you can see screenshot of it on their site. It also comes with OO.org 1.1, Evolution 1.4, and a recent (though not brand new) Mozilla, which stuff you'd upgrade anyway.

All of my hardware worked out of the box just like in RedHat Linux 9 for what it's worth. A friend commented on the fact that Fedora-specific drivers for Nvidia cards are not available yet (it has a later kernel than RedHat Linux 9). Also he noted that the ntfs compatibility module isn't ready yet.

EDIT ntfs compatibility stuff is now updated for fedora actually

Well... I saw.
from surface, there is no much defference from RH9. and i need to consider about it since it doesn't support my GeforceFX.

I am a relative newbie to the linux world having tried Solaris 9, Redhat 8 & 9, Lindows{yuck},

Mandrake, Suse 8.2, Knoppix, and Xandros 1.1, I like Fedora very much because it

detected and installed my sound and multifunction printer properly with no intervention from

me what so ever. This is the only distro I've been able to get both of these working at the

same time. (AC '97 sound HP PCS 1210 scanner/printer/fax)

I have a MSI K7T266 Pro2-A Mobo w/athlon 2000+ cpu
768mb pc2100 ram
Radeon 9000 pro 128 video card
40 & 80 gig ide drives
cdrw and cdr
nic card
All hardware worked with no hic-ups post install.
I don't know if this is an anomaly but I can say I am very pleased over all except for the inability to use wine as I need Photoshop for a class and I cant figure out how to play my mp3's (Redhats copyright paranoia)


I hope this helps, just my 2 cents

Have a great day

P.S. I used bit torrent to dl

It didn't come with XMMS?

Yes, it comes with XMMS.

No, it's not "copyright paranoia", it's "not paying a license fee for a patented, closed technology". The MP3 codec is patented. That means, the owners can charge a fee for the it's use. At the moment, it's not really much of a fee, but that could change. Besides, the spirit of Linux and GNU is free-and-open source.

I installed last week, and love it. It even supports battery / power reporting on my Compaq laptop right off the bat. The only distro ever to do that.

Installed it Friday night. Runs good.

I never really understood this myself in why people persist to see screenshots. Most standard distro's are going to be running the same default desktops, so one running Gnome is going to look like Redhat or Mandrake running Gnome.

Ah well..
