Fedora is not the best to some, adequate to others, and the best to others as well. I like Fedora because I'm familiar with RH Linux. I'm comfortable in it. Some like Gentoo for its ability to build for their specific hardward, while others prefer Debian. None are perfect. If you're interested in Linux, try out several distributions, ask for help on the appropriate list, and stay with a distro you like. If none suit your needs, then try Mac OS X, FreeBSD, or Windows. Saying something sucks is nothing more than one persons way of getting attention on a mailing list and a sure fire way to get others riled up. Personally, it's best to simply ignore folks that come out and say something sucks without asking for help to solve their problems. I hope Edward can find a solution to his problems, but he must be willing to work at them. Later Jesus Rodriguez
