Another FC4 review

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

http://tuxtops.com/?q=node/231

A fair number of the valid criticisms  include perceived slowness of 
native Eclipse (related to GCJ?) and bugs  , system-config-packages , 
more visibility for NetworkManager, no automount of FAT partitions, 
up2date applet bug

Improvements planned for the next release  address nearly all of the 
above concerns :  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC5Future.

MP3 and NTFS amoung others isnt included for legal reasons  :  Check 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems. Incidentally will the 
Fedora Foundation change the liability for any of these is a question 
that comes up pretty often. I guess not but we should run this through 
legal and getting a more official statement for future FF related 
announcements

Things to check up: Synpatics laptop application for tweaking it and try 
to look at setting it up the right way by default if that isnt already 
happening. I would appreciate more details on whats the status of this 
if any of the people in this list is using this. Would also be nice to 
respond to this review in detail. Interested?

regards
Rahul

When I set up this machine, FC4 did not configure the synaptics
touchpad.  I copied and pasted the example from the synaptics
documentation into the xorg.conf file to get it working.  There are also
still some flaws/quirks but I don't know whether the problem is in the
software driver, the hardware, or my configuration.
