Fedora Core 5 Test 3

Installation attempt one: Upgrade from FC4

  1. Put DVD in drive
  2. Admire new logo
  3. Be surprised that installer tells installation will take 400+ minutes.
  4. Be surprised that it really takes that long.
  5. Go to a party
  6. Return to find finished installation
  7. Restart
  8. Be shocked by kernel panic
  9. Fail to recover
  10. Say bad words (a lot)

Installation attempt two: Clean Install

  1. Put DVD in drive
  2. Install in 30 mins.
  3. Customize in 2h
  4. Be productive

I am still installing some auxiliary software. Aside of that it is a clean and slick system. Nice!

FC5 is my first experience with linux... i'm liking it a lot. started off with gnome, now using kde. gnome looks a little prettier IMHO, but kde has some nifty features that gnome doesn't .... don't know which i'll stay with though!
