Hello Andrew,

first I'd like to thank you for your keen interest in the Fedora Project 
in general and the Fedora distribution in particular.

I'm very sorry our latest release just did not work for you, but with 
the extensive feedback you have provided, I'm fairly certain we can now 
start making the improvements everyone apparently so desperately needs, 
so that down the road, we can let you experience the latest and greatest 
from the entire Free and Open Source Software world, too.

Thank you again for your tremendous effort in making clear what did or 
what did not work for you, and what you would like to see improved.

I wish you all the best.

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen

Sorry you feel this way Andrew.  Many people don't agree, but what we
can all agree on is that free software gets better when people
contribute to it constructively.  Why don't you try to pick one thing
(and only one thing, not a laundry list) that aggravates you about
Fedora 9, and explain what you feel is wrong with it?  The answer
might be to file a bug on that issue because the developer or
maintainer doesn't know about it or hasn't encountered it.  Or it
might be that you are missing a crucial piece of information that
would help you understand or change it.

I look forward to hearing a more constructive response.  In the
meantime, you can keep using Fedora 8, which is due to be maintained
until at least around Christmas, i.e. the end of December 2008.

I am beginning to agree with that more and more.

Hi

I also have the impression that F8 was better than F9. But I'm pretty 
sure that F10 will be very good.

I just installed F10 and I already feel that it is a improvement over F9.

Regards

Marcelo

What version of KDE does it use ?   (yum list kdebase or rpm -q kdebase)

What improvements to KDE are you seeing ?

Thanks

How is it in comparison to F8?

I am waiting for F10.  I am still running F7 at home as I was waiting 
for F9 but found that the KDE mess was more than enough not to look at 
F9.  F8 at work still.  Looking at F10 in December.

If the KDE is still a mess, I will look at Ubuntu at home.
