Fc6..... Yuck!

[raqball]

I installed FC6 final release today and after about an hour I am NOW installing Ubuntu 6.06 back on the laptop.

Boot times in FC6 are pathetic and install time is even more pathetic. Hated it so back I go to the good ol reliable 6.06..

Anyone else try FC6?

I moved this to the proper forum.

Really? I guess I am going to waste a DVD and try it out anyway. I am not going to get rid of Ubuntu, but install it on a 20GB drive for testing. Still downloading... 8%.. and crawling.

Might dual-boot in fact i am pretty sure.
Have to see it myself.
Wonder if this stupid itch trying other dists will ever stop.

Has not stopped for me yet. I have dulled it down to dual-booting also, but no M$. Just different linux's with Ubuntu as the primary distro.

I think Fedora 6 looks better than Ubuntu, but Ubuntu's package management is what keeps bringing me back. Fedora has gotten better with YUM. I wouldn't have any problems recommending Fedora to anybody, for me Ubuntu and Fedora are about equal. I've used Fedora since Core 1, and Ubuntu since 5.04(Hoary).

I've never used Fedora Core (or Red Hat) but there are some features that look cool:

GUI security options

GUI Xorg configuration (even with dual-display)

The default theme and icons also look nice.

i am downloading FC6 as we speak ... i'm really excited for it! in my eyes ubuntu and fedora are always so close - which one is better ... fedora core 4 was better (for me) than when i first tried ubuntu5.04 so i stuck with fedora. then breezy badger came out and i liked it more than fedora, so i switched to ubuntu. next was dapper versus fedora core 5, which dapper won by a landslide. i'm looking forward to comparing edgy to fc6 =D i think fc6 is gonna be really good.

You should try to use the DVD+/-RW. Save money and the environment as well...

You might as well try it, you might like it! I hated it! The install time gave me flashbacks to the Suse 10.1 3 hour install times (FC6 is not that bad but it is about an hour or so)

Boot times compared to 6.06 are horrible, boot times compared to 6.10 are flat out sad!

The icon theme does look nice and pretty though

Yum, is still yum, no thanks, i'll keep apt
