Ok i made a clean install of 5.04 ( Hoary Hedgehog )
Like most of you probly know i'm the only linux user between 230+ Windows computers.
Off and on i had to boot back to Windows to do some work that Fedora and even Warty gave me errors or couldnt do or was MUCH slower etc.
I am pleased to say I have been doing my work now without having to boot back into Win for 3 days now and growing.
Terminal Services works faster than on Win 2000 and even on Win XP's remote desktop connection, to a Windows 2000 Server!! i couldnt get this to work on Wart and Fedora Core 3 was SLOOOWWWWW.
This is awesome and thanks to the devs for including it out the box!!!!!
Evolution after upgrading works without a hitch with our Exchange server. Its even traking the meetings like it should etc. AWESOME! Fedora DID NOT WORK ( I dont know why it just didnt connect. ) Warty it did work but I could only e-mail and it didnt recognize my address list, witch seems to be mostly there with the new Evolution and Hoary.
Graphic card. Works with my work and home nvidia cards. At work i had a problem with the GeForce 2 DDR 256 but after re-installing them and re-activating the drivers all is fine now, except that my resolution doesnt want to go up over 1024 x 768. my Home pc on a GeForce 5200 goes WAAAAYYY more than that, so i expect it to be a minor issue in the config or something. Well done!
Love the new "places layout" and the new bootsplash!
Networking. With Warty I had ENDLESS trouble - dont ask me why I couldnt figure it out. trying to access our corporate network. it saw the domain and PC's but as soon as wanted to log into PC's that i had permission / access to it poped up password prompts and nothing i put in worked, or it would refuse to connect.
Now it just works after i put in the passwords. WELL DONE!!!! I havent completely tested this all over but i should be ok with a couple of tweaks.
One thing I would like to see happen in Breezy. PLEASE make it so that the Windows partision is recognized and mounted or something if it has after boot. is this possible? Windows users migrating to ubuntu will need to see their partision and might not know of a way to mount it. I know this is possible because there are quite a few distro's that does this. Mandrake for one.
All in all awesomely done. THE BEST DISTRO TO USE NOW. PERIOD.
