Re: Slightly OT: bad rap for Fedora, and realistic effects

There is some truth in what you say but implies that:
1. You have semi-fast Internet connection.

Of course.  But DL of the ISOs will hardly be any faster.


2. You know the group names of the things you want to install.

#yum grouplist


3. yum update is of less use to you. It is hard to know what things your
would like to install that may be out there.

I think there are several gui frontends for yum: yumex and pirut come
to mind.  Also:
#yum-search "what you want to do"
is a good first step.  Granted you might not always find anything, but
many times you will.  I don't use the front-ends, but assume they have
some type of search functionality also.

Anyway, I hate getting sucked into these types of discussions.  I just
wanted say that FC 5 discs vs XP 1 disc is not really a valid
comparison.
