My Encounter with FC6
I’ve had this on my mind for quite some time now, but been very lazy to write anything down.
It’s only fair that since I started blogging (commenting on others blogs) cuz of FC6, that I write something about it.
Yes, I’ve tried it. I installed it…all the 5 CD…..and I found something very very awkward. MY FRIEND WAS RIGHT IN A LOT OF ASPECTS. FC6 is simply ….HORRIBLE!!!
It doesn’t have a “Select All packages” option that it did in FC4.
It doesn’t work properly.
The UI is hideous.
…n well…they seem to have put the console on the background…tried to hide it so to attract NORMAL HOME USERS who don’t want to see the console, and only windows. PATHETIC!!!
I couldn’t get my HP printer to work with it, while it worked fine with FC4.
Sound was problem when it wasn’t before.
Its more of a degraded version of Fedora Core than an upgraded version cuz, these problems should have not occurred.
….with so many things screwed up, within hours I HAD TO SHIFT BACK TO FC4.
The experience was just HORRIBLE!!! All the hype, all the excitement, all the hours of waiting, all the bits downloaded, all the cd used to get a good working copy of FC6….all of those n tons more that I cannot find the words to describe…GONE OUT THE WINDOW!!!
I guess I’ll stay with FC4 for a while now.
Ayaz, if you ever read this, I confess, there are a billion things wrong with FC6 and its installations. In a lot of things that you wrote on ur blog, you were right…except for NOT HAVING THE 5th CD …..on that I still say…dude…what were u thinking.
Hence, my enthusiasm about trying new OS has plummeted down to the oceans bed lying right besides the Black Perl n Captain Jack Sparrow.
