Fedora 10 - Good So Far - Hints and Tips?
I've been out of the Linux community for a while, and upon reading some news saw that Fedora 10 had been released. I'm running the Gnome Live-CD version of Fedora 10 and just doing some diags. So far, even running from the CD and with some of the animations on, it is snappier and more responsive than Vista is running from the hard drive. It's on par with Vista running in Classic mode. I'm backing up some documents to a USB hard drive and the file transfers are going faster too by about 1/3. I'm doing this on a Compaq Presario C751NR. I've had all sorts of different OS's on this box, and the one thing that keeps making me put Windows back on it is World of Warcraft, lawl. Even when I've gotten it to run in Wine, the framerate is just too low to be playable, I'm thinking about just throwing Windows on an external hard drive and carrying it around just in case I feel like playing WoW. I don't want to dual boot because then there's a whole bunch of non-contiguous free space in each partition that I can't just group together for storing larger files, and on a 120 GB hard drive I need all the free space I can get for my DVD-rips. (It's easier than carrying around the DVDs) I'm just curious if there's anything I should know about this particular release since I've been out of the picture for about a year now. I think the last time I used Fedora was Fedora Core 5.
