Getting back on the Linux box....
« on: January 05, 2007, 09:45:24 AM »
Ok.. so i powered it up the other day... 1st time in over 3 years i think!

Was running Fedora Core 3... now upgraded to release 5.

Not sure if i like the way fedora has gone.. any suggestions?

I know some bits about Linux systems.... not all that knowlegable though.

Any suggestions welcome :)

No more RPM Hell... hahaha!

Oddly... the package management was one of the things i thought better about the older Fedora distro's ...

Yay!

This is my 1st posting from my new Ubuntu box ;)

Wow... what a difference compared to the old fedora days!

all working really well, through a KVM switch so i have the winXP box and the Ubuntu box both online and on together.

Now to install software... !

Cheers again

Ubuntu's package manager seems to deal with them ok :)
