I set my home workstation downloading the FC6 DVD ISO yesterday morning. I have to say that I never bothered going back to check that it came down successfully. Looking forward to an opportunity to get it installed… although I think I’m going to try an upgrade from FC4, which may not be advisable but I can’t face recreating various settings.
Here are some of the articles I’ve been reading to work myself into a state of anticipation at all the Linuxy goodness:
- Fedora Core 6 Review @ Linux Forums
- First Impressions of Fedora Core 6 @ Linux Format
- Fedora Core 6 in virtualized environment @ TekArtist
may I ask: why FC and not Ubuntu? =)
Tim.
ubuntu is not a total free open source project !!!
I wanted to asked the same as Timothy …
Interested to know what you mean by “ubuntu is not a total free open source project !!!”?
And then I am very bias since ubuntu is from a friend and fellow South African 🙂
I’m a long-term RedHat user (since 5.x days).
It was sold to me a long, long time back by a friend as the distro that all the enterprises were likely to support… which it has been, although I accept that SLES/Novell and Ubuntu and others have made great strides.
So it’s largely historical. I know the RedHat way of doing things. I know people who work there, heck I even interviewed there myself. I like it, I’ve been happy with it, and so far I have found no reason to change. If I did change, Ubuntu would be my first choice of Debian-y alternative (but I’d probably go there via OpenSuSE, to be honest).

Because its NOT. They install proprietary drivers by default in many systems
