Chris - Subject: Bad rap? ( Jan 10, 2005, 11:49:33 )
I'm not sure why Fedora Core gets such a bad rap. I use it on several production machines in the workplace, and on my laptop. Yes, you do have to configure a secondary yum repository like FreshRPMs or DAG in order to get multimedia and some wireless hardware working properly. Once that's done, however, it provides a stable and easy to use environment. I've tried pretty much every major distribution out there. Gentoo, Debian, Slackware (my first distro like ten years ago - has it really been that long?? anyone else remember making a shoebox full of floppies?) and more. As a disclaimer, we do have to use Red Hat AS for some of our servers due to Oracle support requirements. That may be why I decided to use Fedora for the other server - simplifies administration, as Fedora is more similar to RedHat than Gentoo or Debian would be.
