As a Fedora user since Core 3, I can't make out what all the fuss is about. I've never had problems with any Fedora number (I am now on FC 8) and have never noticed the apparent drawbacks list by Charles Curly. I have a home-built system using an Asus mother board, Celeron 3.2 GHz processor, 2 SATA drives, built-in video, Iomega 250 Zip, two Samsung laser printers (one color, one black), a Canon i860 ink-jet printer (for photos), a Canon LiDE 25 scanner, a USB 40 Gby HD for backups etc., and an ADSL link to Internet (thanks to Ma Bell). I have also installed Fedora in various flavors on much smaller systems down to 233 MHz processor, 10 Gby HD, primitive video with great success as I can pick and choose which packages I install. I have never had any download problems with the updates and think that regular updates means that the Fedora people are on their toes. In the past I have tried : Ubuntu, Knoppix, SuSE, DSL, Mint and a few others but always get back to Fedora due to its ease of use and friendly user interface. Any "problems" I have had have been associated with glitches in applications rather than Fedora and its kernel etc.. With the minor exception of trying to get my 56 k modem working for fax : I still can't fathom this one out and neither can a couple of local gurus who have been summoned to help me! I am now looking forward to the official Fedora 9 but, as I've found out from previous difficulties, I shall do a re-install rather than an update as this seems to work more reliably.
