Fedora Core 4

Fedora Core 4 has been out a while, and repositories are just starting to pop up for it finally. Seems theres problems with the move to GCC 4.0 and getting things to compile. Other than that, I’m really liking it. I haven’t made the move on my home PC yet, but I’ve been running it here at work for some time (since test 2 i believe…) and I’ve had it on my laptop since test 3. Major updates include Gnome 2.10, GCC 4.0, and more enhancements to SELinux. Worth the upgrade? I would say yes. Mostly for cosmetic reasons tho. I loved how it detected and even would allow me to install over my Cisco 340 Aironet wireless card at work. I was amazed (since Ubuntu could do it figured Fedora should too!). I’m loving NetworkManager. I finally can confidently say Linux does wireless as easy (i think its actually easier) as windows. (When the card is supported…) Anyway Props to the developers for another great release! I’ll be posting more on my bro’s install for his new Athlon64 and an ATI Express200 board, and a SATA Drive using the SB400 chipset.
