I just use Fedora, I fiddle with it, break it, fix it, and it just works
well for my meagre desires. Scribus, Blender, OO.org, audacity, playing
CD's making DVD's, Making slide shows, Firefox and Thunderbird, Gimp,
FTP, Drupal, all just work, no hassles, no problems and mine is a basic,
generic, cobbled together computer which I built, as were all my other
computers.
If I had a gripe it would be SeLinux does not have intelligence to know
that I can use Drupal in a /home/directory while remaining secure but
that's a configuration problem. I live with it because I don't know how
to fix, after trying.
I don't care that things are not perfect as long as it provides services
that I can understand or explore and allows me to get the jobs done.
What I like a lot is that I have permission to fiddle, to experiment, to
learn. That and I am part of a luvlist of people who will help.
I upgrade apps when they arrive and don't seem to have the problems that
others have with upgrades, I have a working copy of my home directory in
fedora 12 86x64, have no qualms about copying my stuff back and forth.
I don't care about Red Hat Inc. Rants aren't even humorous any more.
Fedora is experimental, live with it, like it, or not!. I like Fedora.
One thing I have learned from watching the types of problems users
experience. It seems to me that the computer may be as much, if not more
to blame than the operating system.
Anyway that's my seriously off topic $5.50c worth.
