I ask this because I cant believe all the troubles so many people are
having. Is there something wrong with Core 3?
Thanks,
Fedora Core is one of the better distros you can use. It should
install just fine on most recent hardware -- I've never really had a
serious installation problem with the public releases. The beta
releases are understandably more difficult because they are works in
progress. The toughest OS'es to install are FreeBSD or OpenBSD. On a
scale of very difficult to install to easy, here are my rankings:
OpenBSD
FreeBSD
SuSE Linux
Fedora Core
I think Fedora Core is one of the best distros you can use regardless
of your experience with Linux. It is very hard to beat the ease of
installation and the GUI components have improved with every release.
I've been fooling with Red Hat products since Red Hat Linux 6.1. I
still remember the absolute hell of upgrading to Red Hat 6.2. Anaconda
was a bit rough around the edges in those days. Bust mostly, I was new
to Linux, new to the hardware I was trying to install on, and as a
result I made a ton of mistakes. I did one thing right: I kept on
trying until I succeeded. (At this point I pat myself on my back
warmly before clicking the "send" button.)
