Fedora ? not yet !
|

|
| I use Redhat 9 and it works well. installation goes well.
TRying out Fedora Core 1 on several old PC's gives me the impression
that a lot of work still needs to be done in the area of installation.
I leave Fedora Core 1 for the time being and switch back to RH9.

I can just lough about this statement which is not even an argumentation.
What do you criticize? What do you miss? Installation is pretty much the
same as on the older Redhat releases.

Then why do I find that Fedora does not install as flawlessly as RH 9
does, on the same computer ?
Fedora is therefor definitely NOT the same as RH9 and laughing about
my statement is therefor not logical, Mr. Spock.
My Buslogic SCSI card behaves very strangely under Fedora (spewing out
messages at random at the command prompt), on an IDE system my fedora
CD's install ok, but afterwards the CD's are not seen/recognized
anymore by the system...
Things that RH9 does NOT do on these SAME systems.
I spent countless hours of getting to know RH9 and setting up a nice
network with it.
I don't even want to try to solve the Fedora problems and spend all
these unproductive hours again, as I have the option of returning to
RH9.
I can now set up a RH9 system in my network in the time of an
installation from the 3 CD's, plus 15 minutes adjusting.
I am curious about the Fedora project, and I will return to it later,
but for now:
No thank you, I'll wait a bit.

Ok, on my several systems Fedora Core 1 runs without any problem. FC1 is
technical not much more than "Redhat release 10". If you experience
problems like you do track bugzilla. Typically those errors come from
driver changes in the linux kernel. Happens, so for a while the aic7xx
driver was broken. Some drivers need helpful switches to be activated.

Be sure and read the memory and processor requirements for Fedora.
They are a little steeper than for RH9.
I found that to make a difference on old hardware.
For example, I tried upgrading a Pentium machine with 64Mb memory, that
was running as a text mode sendmail server. Fedora did the upgrade,
but the machine did not boot into the OS correctly and threw faults. To
be honest there were problems with rh73 on this machine as it was very
old and had some nasty PnP cards.
HOWEVER -- when I upgraded my rh9 development workstation -- a 686 with
256Meg -- it was flawless. AND -- because of the new 2.4 kernels (
still waiting for 2.6 ) its performance is *much* better !
I agree that Fedora is RH10 in many ways -- but in other ways it's
better -- for example, I don't need an /entitlement/ to access up2date.
I think Redhat is smart in freeing up the desktop group into Fedora to
just explore and push the latest and greatest and have fun with linux!

I don't see any problem whatsoever either ... ;-) Some people just tell
whatever they want without any argument whatsoever.
