So planning this distro to be your primary one?

I must say that the installation of Fedora Core 6 has been a breeze, and on an older system at that! What I am most pleased with is remote printing. I do a lot of remote printing over a wireless network and the laptop was able to find the printer over the wireless network. In previous versions of Fedora, I always had to configure the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to do this but now, it works like a charm without any type of configuration. I believe that Fedora Core 6 is top notch!.

I installed FC6 the day after it came out as my primary operating system, replacing Ubuntu 6.10 beta at that position. For now, I haven’t had any hardware problems with it, and it looks very, very nice. Fedora recognized my Radeon X300 correctly out of the box and even the AIGLX + Compiz effects were ready to use.

Yum, the package manager, isn’t as fast as Debian’t Apt but otherwise it does the job and is easy to use. I’ve had a few programs that aren’t available in the standard repositories, but I’ve compiled them myself when needed.

I like this distro quite a lot and I think I’m going to use it for a while.

E@syVG: I don’t know.. It could well be I’m going to try Ubuntu 6.10 first though, as I’ve heard a lot about it. In fact, I’ve already installed Ubuntu, and I’m having quite a few problems with it, two being a black screen after the bootsplash (ie. no ATi graphics card driver, as expected from Ubuntu) and a network card which is recognised but which I cannot get to ping IPs outside my network They can both be fixed, but it’s not done for me automatically, as it was in FC6. I might make the switch completely.

Jeffrey: Precisely! Everything just seems to work in Fedora Core 6, which is great news (I remember how much I hated FC2!).

muep: I don’t like Yum as much as APT either, but FC6 seems a better choice for me than Ubuntu 6.10 at the moment.. It just works!

I agree with much of what is being said here. I updated from FC5 (yum) no problems. For those of you w/ pm issues do this yum install smart smart-gui. Once it’s done you should have the smart package manager, you can using it via gui smart install “package” or via gui Applications –> System Tools –> Smart. Good luck!

[…] Fedora Core 6 - A Cursory Glance (J_K9 @ Linux) […]

Yeah.. i agree. FC6 has done out itself absolute neat to kill the M’soft Win (CENSORED!!) platform on the terms of being ‘UISER FRIENDLINES”.

FC6 is the (yet another) revolution in the *NIX World, in the OpenSource Technology. It’s what i see as the birth to the end of other “PREMIUM” costly-affairs-of-having-a-computer!

Time calls us to start petitioning and rolling out drums in public against those others.

FC6 is neat, sleek, beautiful, auto-detect-urPCstuff-n-install, and it “IS” user friendly (so much that even newbies and *NIX un-aware people can start falling in to the Linux Community)

Cheers Redhat!

Fedora Core 6 certainly was one of those distributions, and I can only hope that Fedora 7 will be better
