How is F15-KDE, overall ?
I'm still running F14, due to problems rebooting during the pre-upgrade

should I just keep running F14 ?
Thanks !

If the iPad is so overpriced, why isn't the market flooded with cheaper
alternatives

And why is that ? You've heard of Yellow Dog Linux ? You know that

I seem to be doing a lot of things with hard drives these days !
I purchased an external 2 TB SATA hard drive. I connected it to my
laptop via a USB interface. I partitioned it to 1 large partition and
formatted it to ext4.
I then copied about 200 GB of data to it using Dolphin. I closed

How do I absolutely destroy all the data on the drive so that I may

Just a quick note to say that I am really excited to see that F14 is
going to include Meego.
Why ? I want to put a 10 tablet in my car and the Meego UI is much
more suitable than KDE for that application.
Having both KDE and Meego on my tablet should be the dope. Use Meego
for everyday (car)

You still have the old partition table on the drive when you do that. Try
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1
Tried with a different kernel. Same result.

Turns out the drive was bad. They tested it at the retailer and it
failed.
I ran the same process on the new one and it worked perfectly.
