[GLLUG] Distribution Shopping

[Brian Hoort]

Thank You all for your response.

In answer to the predominant question, paraphrased, "What did you mean to 
say, you louse?", I was worried the first time I booted into Fedora that 
KDE support was an afterthought, and in the long-term would be a 
disaster.  If you look at the installation deafults, they are all for 
Gnome-based apps, and all of RedHat's administration stuff was GDK-based . 
. . It definitely gave the impression they were standing on that side of 
the battle.  I am worried that if I deselect all of that stuff and 
clicky-clicky on all the KDE that the distro would be buggy and not work 
well.  Anyone else have experience with doing that?

Another Question:
I tried all weekend to do an up2date, and they just hang up.  Are there 
mirrors I should be using?  I couldn't find any.  Is it the local software 
hanging up or lack of server resources on the other end?  If so, that 
doesn't do well for the Fedora choice, does it?    Ulrich alluded to this 
in his message, but didn't quite explain the "trainwreck".

Thanks all.
