That's not fair to him. He has a pretty neat site, and a long history of Linux distros reviews, which are very standard (from a user point of view), that is, the same tests are uniformly applied to all of them. If any of those tests fail, it is justifiable for him to say that a distro does not pass a smell test. Yes, he has some preferences for how a desktop machine should look and work, but that's his right. After all he can not be PC and judge a product. His reviews are not "in the clouds", just about right, for an average user. I actually like to take a look at his site from time to time. By comparison to many other hacks and their empty reviews he stands pretty tall. And with regard to this particular review, I have to say I agree with what he said about F16. He understands what RH and Fedora products are (he made a very positive CentOS 6 review recently, so he is not biased), but he is disappointed by some of the junk being served. I am not surprised at all. He did not mention any kernel dump right off the bat, but many users reported it, myself included. That was disappointing for me in particular because I tested F16 RC2-6 on two machines and could not understand how it got in there in the last minute ... Take a look around and check his historical reviews - balanced and not bad :-) JB -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
