No you forgot it was a Ubuntu-BD mailing list. There is a mailing list for all general distros where everyone can post about any distro.<br><br>If your mail had something to do with Ubuntu, that was absolutely fine. Instead, you are bluntly speaking against Ubuntu to promote Fedora as better distro. If you had strong arguments for it, that would have helped us as well. <br>
<br>I already have said. I have no problems with Fedora. Do not get me wrong.<br><br>Again, you have not replied it yet. Why have you mailed the worthless article's link in the first place? Which did not have any point justifying the articles title.<br>
<br><i> </i><font size="2"><span><i><b>Fedora 9 "Gives" Ubuntu a Run For Its Money</b></i></span></font>. Someone should have strong points, examples, information and references to prove this huge statement. <br>
<br>I am planning to write a new article. Damn Small Linux gives Apple, Microsoft and SUN a run for its money. But hey, I already have two strong points ... DSL is small and free!<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 4:02 AM, Angel <<a href="mailto:angel.fedora@gmail.com">angel.fedora@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

salute RedHat for their contribution to the open source community, all<br>
the technologies they have invented and implemented like SELinux,<br>
paravirtualization tools etc. But Fedora is not for Joe user. It is<br>
kind of geeky distribution to test new technologies. I can give<br>
numerous examples of user-unfriendliness of Fedora. Let me give a few.<br>
First of all, you need to add unsupported extra repositories like<br>
livna, freshrpms, rpmfusion etc. to install packages and which is not<br>
as user-friendly as Synaptic. In Synaptic there is a GUI to add extra<br>
repos easily. There is no simple way to add CD/DVD repositories into<br>
thee package manager yum, which in Debian, Ubuntu is as simple as<br>
inserting the CD/DVD. If the CD is not automatically added, you can<br>
easily add it by running "apt-cdrom add" or use Synaptic. In<br>
Debian/Ubuntu there is a super-duper tool to install manually compiled<br>
software into the package manager, it is called checkinstall. I can go<br>
on like this.<br>
<br>
Although Fedora or other distros are inventing new things and Ubuntu<br>
is doing just package management. I will use Ubuntu. APT is so good<br>
that I use it on my Mac too. I install all the linux software via fink<br>
which uses APT.<br>
