Thread: Fedora 12

nope, I tried 11 when it came out and was very unimpressed. It felt like fedora core 2 for me, just didnt seem to change much. WTB better wireless support!

I was reading the techrepublic review of Yumex. It looks like a real help when you use non-standard repositories, like when you need custom video drivers. Thanks for the tip!

have they cleaned things up since version 11? Installing and using version 11 was like going back to the early 2000’s

An upgrade from 11 to 12 refused to recognize my previously operational software raid and failed when restarting. I also tried to setup the original raid as new and one of my two drives failed to be recognized as part of the raid set on first boot. I also tried manual software raid setup at the point in the install just before the local drive setup gets probed. I can create and verify the raid, but on boot, the same drive is still not recognized in the raid set.

I’m not impressed with 12. I may either go back to 11, go to CentOS 5.4 or do esxi 4. I just want a fast raid 0 for my virtualization setup.

Or Debian. Hmm. Would love to run debian again

Yeah, I keep going back to Debian based distros, no matter what I seem to try. It just works!

In the process of moving all once-RHEL servers at my work to Ubuntu Server. Its totally secure (no listening services) on initial install and doesn’t force you to install a GUI. Oh, there is the issue of RPM’s versus DEB’s…yeah… 😉

Yeah I am currently using Ubuntu as my webserver, but its the standard version and I have installed LAMPP afterwards for its ease of use and configuration. How’s the migration going, tough work?
