Initial reports on new install of Fedora Core 2
Cons
----
depression because no apt/yum repositories for the 'extras'
(non-supplied goodies such as mplayer/xmms-mp3/etc)...yet.
No discernible way to play a dvd.
Boots to run-level 5 (perhaps because I chose workstation install
class).
Recognized the wireless card, simple enough to add the encryption key &
connect but had to manually tell it to activate at bootup - bad for
newbies.
Pros
----
Kernel 2.6.5
Very new hardware - eCube with Intel 865 chipset. Recognized all
hardware...no futzing (exception was wireless Prism card per above).
New OO - nice
Has separate emergency boot cd
Goofy
-----
Lots of CD/DVD rippers and writers but because of the licensing
issues...cannot play DVD's or mp3's upon install
