I have no idea about Fedora Core's inability to run on working hardware. I cannot judge that. I don't see why it could not. We are talking Pentiuym class hardware, not 386 or 486. Secondly, Debian Stable is far from 1995, considering that it runs-out- of-the-box the 2.6 Linux kernel. Yes, it is fun to beat up on Debian because of a perceived slowness in release cycles. If you want to go that way, let's make a more appropriate comparison, shall well? Point 1) Fedora is not Red Hat Point 2) Fedora is a ork of Red hat Point 3) Red Hat is the Enterprise Level Linux offering Point 4) Fedora is the end-user Linux offering. Compare Fedora to Ubuntu. Compare Red Hat to Debian. Oh, Fedora does not stack up so well anymore, does it? I thought not. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
