Hello, all,
I've been using Red Hat and then Fedora for a long time. The only
reason I've stuck with Fedora this long is that I am very grateful to
Red Hat for its contribution to the community.
HOWEVER. As time has passed, Fedora has become increasingly
demanding, idiosyncratic, and user-hostile. I can't keep up with the
tick-tock any more, and I'm tired of playing where's waldo so as to
figure out how to do the most obvious things, like how to bring up a
terminal or how to change the power settings with the latest release
of FC-infinity.
The precipitating event is actually caused by Windows, which will not
accommodate all 24Gb of RAM I have on one machine without my paying
blackmail (which I would have to pay over and over again), and Fedora
doesn't even aim at being a replacement for Windows.
Perhaps I will become just as dissatisified with Ubuntu as I have been
with everything else, but maybe I'll die or become senile first. My
impression of system professionals has not changed since I first
started using computers, which was long before anything resembling x86
was even a gleam in anyone's eye. All I can say is I hope y'all are
having fun, because your endless flights of fancy are nothing but a
pain for ordinary users. My dream is a bare-metal hypervisor that
actually works, so that I can actually switch between one
idiosyncratic system and another with the blink of an eye.
Fedora will stay on some machines for a while, but I think I can see
the last station on the line. I wish I could say it's been fun.

How about something way more stable, like CentOS or Scientific Linux.
Both are based on RHEL which is the beneficiary of all the testing that
goes on here in Fedora. You do realize that Fedora is the test
environment for RHEL no? If you don't want to be a tester than use and
enterprise level OS.
