Linux examined: Fedora 9

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

We have to review the complaints here and address them. If anyone wants 
to take a closer look, please do.

"On the whole, Fedora is a solid Linux distribution that will probably 
serve you well for desktop usage. Red Hat can rightly claim extensive 
experience as a commercial Linux vendor; it practically invented the 
market. Installing Fedora is a good way to ensure an extensive 
repository of prebuilt software. The hardware support is right up there 
with any other user-friendly distribution.

But my experiences with trying a multiboot install make me leery of 
recommending it to anyone who wants to use it in a dual-boot 
environment. The distribution may be robust, but the installer needs to 
learn to play better with others. It's also a little too intimidating 
for nongeek users, so if you're going to get any less-experienced 
friends on Fedora, you might want to schedule an afternoon to help them 
out."
