But once you get FC1 configured the way you need it, you should see few terrible problems. OK, Evolution dumps core on me every once in a while, but that's about it. But FC1 brings with it the work of a lot of people who have tested it and taken time to report bugs in the core OS and in the packages delivered with it. I can testify that the response to my bug reports, even when I hit a duplicate issue, has been prompt and courteous. There's a lot of effort here. > > fedora core 2 test 1 is expermentail and will not run This is an overstatement. After all, from a certain point of view, FC1 is "experimental", too. On certain hardware, even a commercial OS could be called experimental. Though I have not tried FC2, there is plenty of evidence that it runs. > --reason for that is there working to gety the bugs out . if you wana > help debug it thats ok . if u just want to run your computer better get > fedora core one If you are looking for a low-cost OS, FC1 might be what you are looking for. The original poster (Brittany, as I recall) was looking to avoid the burden of a lot of updates and looking to learn about Linux. It would not be unreasonable, in that case, to purchase Red Hat Professional Workstation and get familiar with Linux relying on their support; then striking out with Fedora. Erik
