In fact it is the only distro I use at home. However, it IS bleeding edge, by design. The OP said he was going back to Windows because of udev, and my response is: if he is not willing to try to use the tools that everyone else uses then he needs a stable, slower development path distro so he does not have to deal with the rapid pace of development on FC. He thinks udev is too unstable for his use. (He called it alpha testing stage.) So unless he can live with the current state of udev, he needs one of the distros that is not, as yet, using udev. (Slower development track and in his opinion more suitable for his use. > If there is a bug in udev, as the OP claimed > (I haven't encountered any problems with udev) > then it is bug, and should be treated as such, > instead of responding (in effect) "What do you expect?". > > -- > Timothy Murphy > e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie > tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 > s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland >
