Or maybe it's that Fedora changed something more obvious, and not its scheduler, boot order or whatnot?Soul Singin' wrote:Wow. There's a thread on this forum about another GNU/Linux operating system and its name is not Ubunturavisista wrote:So what do you think about Fedora 14?

That's one of the many beautiful things about debian. There just isn't an install and setup like it, in my opinion. It's just perfect with apt. Arch comes close but makes it a bit of a headache when installing software. I can't be arsed to mess around with rc.conf and whatnot when installing cups, gdm or whatever else needs a deamon. apt does all the hard work for you.sossego wrote: You can build it like debian but it isn't as easy.

I do like fedora and it has quite a nice community but there is always a deal breaker, be it font rendering, bugs, selinux etc....
Exactly.Plus it means you have to read a wiki for everything you install to make sure you edit the correct files or to get it working properly.
Couldn't of put it better myself. Although I respect and appreciate what other distros do, fedora being one of them, debian is the sweet spot for me. It strikes the right balance of stabilty and configurabilty without being overly simple or complicated.nadir wrote:

Now add hal and that, add the modules for VBox, and you got what i call a mess.# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sun Aug 8 04:45:36 2010

Post it. I ain't got no idea what the people are talking about.canci wrote: Also, my rc.conf is not a mess.
Haha, I'm a bit anal about what "feeling" the theme gives me when the computer startsnadir wrote: The DM looks different if you restart/reboot then if you simply start it?
Also, rc.conf has the advantage of having almost everything start up and system related in 1 file
So if you would ever want to edit something it would be all in one file?Also, my rc.conf looks the same as any vanilla one, except for the actual variables which are changed.
Dosna seem hard to understand, my friend.Also, my rc.conf looks the same as any vanilla one, except for the actual variables which are changed.
A real example what a real user does on a regular basis would probably help more of us to understand what the advantage is (one which is worth to mention it at all).But that's of no relevance to someone who likes the default settings,
