Paris Hilon meets Linux... not


http://linux-noob.com/review/fedora/fcr3/
... quite cute extra "noob meets FC3" review, bit outdated (ntfs driver replaced by ntfs3g), and reads like a slightly cooler Paris Hilton, but it isn't.

While familiar, it is a good refresher course of the noobs-eye view for those of us who get out of touch.

highlights:
terminal is handy for pretending to be a geek
"mount -t ntfs" is scary
installing mplayer is hard and takes hours, but is needed to play web video feeds.

screenshots are easy and there is a lot of cool software that is fun to use.

Paris was supposed to be put in a chroot jail but before she even got there they gave her time off for gdb behavior. Once she got there the daemon let her out for mdadm reasons but the original admin didn't like it so had her sent back to the chroot jail after first going to an mdadm jail.
