He talks to some other guys at the local Linux User Group who tell him that he will get better success with Ubuntu - so he tries that and it works - Now imagine the chatter over a drink the next time he joins the local Linux group social.... I have been using Fedora since its inception - and I can usually be patient but how many people will be turned off permanently by issues like this, both old hands as well as newcomers? I think this is an issue that is ignored at our peril. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
