I took a look at those screen shots, and don't see much there other than some different pretty graphics. But that's an improper impression - the look and feel is only half the battle. It sounds like they've made some strides in making things more useful and user friendly though.
For me, Fedora won't be an option for 2 main reasons. First, they continue to use Gnome by default. Yes, I *could* put in KDE, but I found in the past they had too many things geared to the gnome desktop that finding them under KDE was a pain and they had to load all the gnome libraries anyways. (can you tell I don't like Gnome much? lol ). Second, I don't like the way Fedora, or Suse for that matter, manage the config files. This is a highly subjective point though. Gentoo is the distro that 'clicked' for me, so I prefer distros that have a similar concept in terms of the config files (i.e. don't add unnecessary control layers that overwrite the config files on a whim). When I make a change to the config files, I don't want to have to search for a distro specific way to safely add an entry to my hosts file (or whatever config file I'm dealing with), that is not going to get overwritten the next time I reboot or use the GUI config tool. But that's my own personal view. I'll likely try out Fedora 5 at some point, just because I know I'll have to do some support on it... :) Shawn On Tuesday 18 April 2006 12:08, Mitchell Brown wrote: > Well it just looks really really nice.
