All your FC2 problems solved at: http://www.mandrakelinux.com/ I have used RH distros since RH 5.0 and it has been both challenging and rewarding to debug, tweak, and generally geek out with each release. But I am just a small time web developer, needing a good stable linux environment for PERL, Apache, scripting etc. Over the weekend I upgraded from RH 9.0 to FC2 and found, shooting for par with a RH distro, no sound, no multimedia, mal-KDE-treatment, bad package management etc. etc ETC ETC. So I installed Mandrake 10.0 today after fighting with FC2 for 3 days, and am having the best Linux experience of my life. This is the distro for people who are not full-time hard-core (vegan-ASCII-text-only) hackers, its for real users, small guys, yes, ACTUAL people, who don't want to have to troubleshoot the same system configuration problems over and ove again, who don't care about issues with multimedia licenses, who like Linux because it is fun to hack and script, not to contribute unpaid intellectual labor to a company that pretty much made it apparent that I am not a client they should care about...good-bye from the small guy. #mv FC2 /local/public/library/donations/bin -/-- jludwig <wralphie@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, 2004-07-06 at 20:04, Christopher K.
