Fedora 7

Well its out. Tentatively interested in giving this a go over the summer. Do many people here use Fedora?

Also I've tried the torrents and nothing is downloading and the direct iso links point to folders with only the Rescue CD iso's. :confused:

I'm downloading Fedora Core 7 at the moment (at 50kbps [BT Broadband in the suburbs]). But it will take a long time.

Ahem! This is Fedora 7 and not Fedora Core 7 thank you very much.

Sorry about that, I am not really up-to-date with the Fedora Project; I am more familiar with Ubuntu.

No worries, just joking. The Fedora group seem to have removed the "Core" bit so I'm just enforcing it for them.

I've not really used Ubuntu before but the first ever Linux distro I used was Fedora Core 3 at Uni so I kind of like to stay loyal and see what that is like. But what with Dell selling Ubuntu PCs and Internet sites bigging up Ubuntu and my cousin saying he thinks Ubuntu is good I'll probably stick with that. Course when I build my Linux box I'll aim to dual-boot between Fedora 7 and Ubuntu.

Downloaded this last night, will be giving it a go today
Will have to see if the ati drivers work with this as ive not had 3d for about 6 months thanks to ATI's crappy drivers
Im not holding much hope

Can you let us know how that goes? I'm quite new to this Linux lark so when I get Fedora/Ubuntu running I'll be wanting to know how to do this kind of stuff.

OpenSuSE for the win. Beats Fedora hands down imo (which used to be my favourite desktop distro).

Thought someone might mention that. That is what we run now at Uni instead of Fedora.
