I installed fedora core 1 a few days ago while I was waiting for mandrake 10 to arrive... its awful... I think redhat 9 is better. no joke. Installing things is a pain in the ***, and it doesnt come w/ python. Software banks are not very big for fc1 either. I must say that hardware support is quite good though. That was the nicest thing about it.
the xmms it comes w/ doesnt have any good codecs... it play .ogg or whatever. I can dl one, but thats besides the point. I couldnt get my yahoo account to work in the messaging client.
and probably most importanty, I couldnt update. The updater froze very time i tried to update! No joke!
Overall I think that the os is pretty ****ty to other modern distributions. Even compared to older distros.
Has anyone else used FC1? What do you think?
thanks (for reply and listening to my rant)
