Quick Change of Mind
September 9, 2010After only one day, I bailed out on Fedora 13. It might be a great Operating System, but I had to odd problems.
The first problem was that I was never prompted for my root password during install, so I had to spend about an hour trying to figure out how to set it. Granted after some trial and error, I did get it figured out.
The next problem came to adding software. I wanted to switch from TigerVNC to VNC Server since I am totally familiar with what TigerVNC is. When trying to switch over to VNC server, the system kept prompting me to accept a certificate, which I did, but the software would be applied to the system. In the in end I went to a command line and did a yum install and that seemed to work fine.
In the end, my initial impression wasn’t very good. So for now I am going to give Ubuntu a try and see happens. I like the Desktop version so with luck, the server will turn out to be just as good.
