Since Fedora is just a testbed for programs and features that may be included in the Red Hat server product, there may be things that aren't quite right. Such is life on the bleeding edge. I use it as a desktop environment, and it works just fine for me. Some of their tools are o.k., though I tend to use the ones that come with KDE, or at times, Webmin. The project leans heavily towards Gnome, though they have gotten better about accomodating those of us who prefer KDE. Early on, it took quite a while to get the latest KDE packages, so I started downloading them for KDE-Redhat. Now they are available much sooner after the release, so someone on the project listened to the grumbling coming from us KDE users. I don't think that I would recommend Fedora to a new user. There are some things that are easy for an experience user to troubleshoot and fix that would totally frustrate a new user. ********************************* > Hello James, > > All very true.
