I forgot what it’s like when packages just don’t install. Remember, the days of RH6, where you’d have to spend a day tracking down all the dependencies only to discover that some tiny POS package prevented the whole install. That’s kind’a how Fedora is today. In fact, I don’t notice any improvements over the old Redhat package management system. Yum runs about the same speed as it did on my 486; quite a remarkable task given that the processing power on my new system is equivalent to a small server farm of 486 units. How can they make something so slow? Having used Debian for the last few years, I feel entirely spoiled.
