Sorry !Fedora 15. I wanted to love you. I really, really did. But... You're shit, and you're getting worse with every release.
-
@karakh thats not true, this 2.6.38 works with an open source driver for my broadcom43xx that was not supported before 2.6.38
-
@karakh of course, if you dont like Gnome3, I suggest opensuse 11.4 to you
-
@karakh That's pretty normal, really. Fedora 14 was so good I'd expect 15 to be a bit crap. 16 will be better. That's how i works
-
@gustopn: I like Gnome 3. Gnome 3 is awesome. But most G3 distros work out of the box. Three hours fiddling with xorg is ridiculous in 2011.
-
@gustopn: Good. I am very happy for you. I just wish that it would play with my gfx card, my Alfa card, and my samba server.
-
@gustopn What's so bad about fc4?
-
@gomerx: After the flood of hate-dents and death-threats that I've just received (I'm exaggerating), thanks for giving me a civil response..
-
@zoowar: Support for pretty much everything in my set-up. I had to physically remove 2 hdds, my 2 gpus, and my Alfa card just to install...
-
@ratfink i dont know any more, it is too long ago
-
@karakh what is an "alfa card"?
-
@karakh why did you have to fiddle with xorg?
-
@gustopn: An Alfa card is a pen-testers best friend
-
@gustopn: I had to play with xorg because I had to (physically) remove two GFX cards during install. It would only install if my (cont...)
-
@karakh what is it?
-
@gustopn: onboard GPU was enabled, and was the only GPU on the system. First distro I've tried that had this problem.
-
@gustopn: An Alfa card? It's just a USB wi-fi adapter... Except that I can add a directional antenna and hack from 8 miles away. 2Ws baby.
-
@gustopn: An Alfa card? It's just a 2W USB wifi adapter... But I put a d-antenna to my roof so that I could 'pen-test' from 8 miles away.
-
@gustopn: God damn broken refresh button... Thought my first dent was lost. Sorry for doulbe (ish) post.
-
@karakh 2W is forbidden, you can only send w/ 0,1 mW on 2,4 GHz (in europe)
-
@gustopn: AfaIk, nobody (no individual) has ever been prosecuted in the UK for using channels and b/c strengths that are 'illegal'.
-
@gustopn: You can spoof GNU/Linux into thinking that you're in another country (Bolivia) and most restrictions are removed.
-
@karakh yes, but i dont like this, because that may start like war race all routers in the environment strenghtening signal
-
@karakh i d rather use a 30dB reflector antenna
-
@gustopn: Couldn't agree more. If everyone was using uberpowered routers then it would be chaos. But my home router is a stock Cisco router.
-
@gustopn: a reflector antenna is a bit too high-profile for me. The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.
-
@karakh I feel for you, but don't judge a distro for its hw support. It could have amazing support, but if it doesn't work on YOUR hardware…
-
@lukeshu Besides, it's a hard thing for them to test, if you have weird hw, then a dev needs that same hw to test.
-
@karakh well the beauty of Linux is the choice of distro, if Fedora doesn't suit try another, maybe Mint or something debian based
-
@karakh fedora is definitely not getting worse imo (unlike ubuntu). Sorry to hear you chose bad hardware to run linux :p
-
@karakh It's unfortunate people are nasty to you, but it's true Fedora can be inconsistent. I gave up on it from Core 6 to Fedora 14.
-
@ddevine Sorry what is the definition of bad hardware in this conversation?
