To those who spend their lives heaping abuse on others on the Internet, perhaps this outlet for your aggression will prevent some manifestation where you can actually harm someone. I have actually already had instances of Ubuntu running, because it supports a relatively important software package that Fedora does not. I can, of course, always get the tarball and compile for Fedora, but it's a big package, and my experience has been that there is almost always a gotcha. My Ubuntu machines found the NetBIOS network and joined it without any intervention on my part, but it took me years to become competent with Samba on Red Hat/Fedora. For those who wish to claim that there is no difference between the two OS's as to Windows-friendliness, I beg to differ. I know people who go WAY back in this business. The people I mostly know build or design hardware or use computers for technical applications. Many of them would say and have said similar things as I have said about the masters of the universe who control what "lusers" see. To those here who are both competent and human, you have my entire sympathies, as there appear to be those who are either not both or who are perhaps neither. I will probably keep instances of Fedora running and I will probably continue futzing around with trying to find a real bare-metal solution that isn't a commercial ripoff.
