Hi,
I haven't update fedora for quite sometime and
purchased a CD to completely install existing fedora core 2 to version
11.
I found it completely different that requires as
intensive memory as MS systems. Installation used to be very easy and even
earlier pentium CPU's haven't been problem. Especially memory used to be the
best of linux in general.
Let me give you what happened.
The computer which I have installed fedora
11 was on PIII over 600ghz speed, 256MB RAM, 80GB Hard drive,
512MB video and this system is just experimental, not production
ofcourse.
Very interestingly the fedora system took the
entire night to complete the installation with sever attempt of changing
options. I have used the default suggested package installed on the
system.
The best of Linux supposed to be low over
head, great x-server with very low video memory, work on any CPU, compact,
flexible, and so on.
But I found non of these on fedora11. For my own
curiocity I have read the doc's and the suggested min requirments are
resource intensive which Microsoft 7 could work greatly with that
resources.
What happened to the Linux community? Cought on the
Windows competion? Feel very sad the change brought unexpected end to the
great system.
I hope all the rest of linux flavors not fall on
this problem. One thing I have noticed on the documentation was that suggested
not to used the text mode on installation. Isn't it the beauty of Linux - the
used of text mode on installation?
It seems to me that you follow the industries
rather than guide them to this great operating systems. Companies wanna sell
their video card, motherboard, and so on and you follow their lead.
Regards,
Tes
