Fedora Core 10 - Another Round

So I have been reading a lot about Fedora Core 10 recently and have decided to give Fedora and Red Hat in general another shot. I've only decided to give it another try because Debian is slowly lagging behind it's counterpart Ubuntu (they haven't implemented the new linux kernel 2.6.27). Considering the kernels is on revision seven, I find it perturbing that Debian hasn't included it in at least it's testing release, Lenny. Fedora and Ubuntu on the other hand have both included the new kernel, which adds a lot of support for FGLRX, as well as KVM, and a lot of other much needed improvements. Fedora has always been buggy with package management, and other issues have always been a major road block keeping me from ever using it for more than a half an hour. I'm hoping I won't be disappointed again. If Core 10 manages to keep me appeased, I may find myself using a new Linux distro as my desktop, if not, I'll be reverting back to Ubuntu. Either way, I'll be posting back about the new Core 10 and my personal experiences.

Happy Hacking ~

Brian, I'm actually pretty ok w. them dropping the Xen dom-0 support. I've always been a fan of kvm/kqemu/qem/VirtualBox. They all do much better jobs of virtualization support. But, I suppose to each their own :]

Still, I've lost most interest in Fedora as they seem to release something and call it stable when it barely works. Shame on them.
