<br>hi,<br><br>I am too worked up ! Too upset ! writing these lines.<br>How long have I been on this email-list ?? ( I wonder )<br><br>1. Perhaps I needed this experience ??!! <br>- can it be useful somehow ?<br><br>2. Early on, I asked if there was any "moderator"<br>- I asked if there was any "contact personel" ?<br>- Asked if I may post a private mail to certain people.<br>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br> <table class="messageheader" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="label" nowrap="nowrap">Subject:</td><td> ping Michael Schwendt</td></tr> <tr><td class="label" nowrap="nowrap">To:</td><td>fedora-test-list@redhat.com</td></tr> </tbody></table> <form name="frmAddAddrs" action="http://address.mail.yahoo.com/yab/us?v=YM&.rand=20154&A=m&simp=1" method="post"> <input name="fn" value="Arne Chr." type="hidden"> <input name="ln" value="Jorgensen" type="hidden"> <input

Ubunto, Suse, nobody has been able to boot up,<br>except Fedora has somehow bypassed some
obstacles.<br><br> ------------------------<br><br>Who I am:<br><br>- I was mighty surprised when I came across some internal resource files<br>at IBM, as how to boot up RedHat on some ppc hardware. Yeah - I thought,<br>I have struggled with that.. and read the article. Surprise !! It carried my<br>name ! <br>- In work with the first Realtime Linux in a NIST project, I did did some contribution, solved register usage for 486 in some code from NASA, that<br>nobody else had been able to.<br><br>- I have been head of my "small" company, called to assist technical problems around the world.<br><br>- Personal friends, those I went to school with, - experts in Unix, patentholders for
internal code used in most cellular/mobile phones around<br>the world. They shy away from Fedora - because the have seen how I struggled with it. They run other distro instead because of this.<br><br>- I have retired, closed down my company, I have some health issues,<br>I am rusty, stupid at times, etc. But with a little help - perhaps I could<br>be of some help to you ?<br><br>And I know there is thousands people out there that struggle. Chuck Ebbert from this site pointed it out, did assist me some with bugzilla.kernel.org<br>It's been a nightmare for way..way too long. <br><br>The stupidity is part of my own doing, but it's not easy to communicate from<br>some unreliable and unstable machines. Yes there are some wikipedia info,<br>and other stuff but if you cannot get X, or get a reliable connection, and...<br>when you have "falled off the wagon" ... you may miss out on even
the<br>elementary and basic issues that everyone has taken for granted.<br><br>I believe there can be something for everyone here, why I share this silly and<br>lame story. I never would believe I would experience it, but I have. I came<br>into the madhouse - this site, I have never understood how the fuck you guys work here. <br><br>I am ashamed, my self esteem has hit rock bottom - not that fun to stand out<br>as some complete fool and idiot. <br><br>Do wonder what your meeting will be about, but I guess I will miss out on that too, as I don't know what packages to install, how to connect, or any of<br>that. I will not be able to learn all that fast enough to do it. <br><br>I am rusty, and out of focus, but new guys arrive at this site, new users<br>will join Fedora, and I sure hope for your sake and for theirs, that they<br>never come into a situation as I
just have told.<br><br>//ARNE<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>My las post,subject: Re: Oh..fuck !!<br><br><b><i>"Arne Chr.

- it should not .... but when you change from your trusted o'l RedHat, do the mistake to think Fedora is just another name for your o'l pal,<br>- the story begins ;) Then try to salvage a sinking ship, fight the leaks and<br>streams of water (updates), then the trickstery begins. Add ISP trouble, difficult hardware. And if you cry for help in a polite way.... then.....<br>the fun stuff starts. <br><br>But it is damn nice to be able to write this on a computer that is starting to behave, in which surprises appear such as - gee, this appear better then what OEM or Microsoft seem to have done ;) <br><br>night ,<br><br>//ARNE<br><br><br><br><div> </div><hr size="1">Looking for last minute shopping deals? <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=51734/*http://tools.search.yahoo.com/newsearch/category.php?category=shopping"> Find them fast with Yahoo!
