> - the icon theme is indeed outdated, VERY outdated and missing many icons The new replacement is incomplete. Bluecurve has a tremendous amount of icons to be replaced. We (Artwork team) intended to work on as the new FC6 theme is complete. If you are an artist, you are welcome to contribute. We would like to further improve the whole look in future releases. > - fedora is the slowest Linux distro i've ever used! He is right to bash on fedora like that, my Intel P4 1Ghz machine with Windoze XP Pro boots in 7 seconds flat! while my Athon64 X2 3800 Dual Core boots Fedora Core 5 in a few minutes!!! jesus! Windows XP design is tightly integrated with the kernel giving the performance boost. However, the services are intentionaly disabled on boot and will started after login as user. I personaly don't care about booting performance. > - the initial boot text is indeed ugly and geeky. We either have a full graphical boot, from start to end or we don't have one. Right now we are half and half, which looks very unfinished and ugly. I (as Finalzone on that blog) pointed out these text are used for debugging. As Rahul stated, quiet mode is intentionaly disabled for that purpose. The mistake the author did is to compare the performance of a test release with a final version. > - Compiz was a fiasco as well. We've seen the videos from the Novel presentation and what we have in fedora is just two effects (out of 20?). Ofcourse it didn't work at first (like it happened with the author of the review) and even after i got it working i found too many bugs to actualy keep it running (ctrl-fX keys wouldn't work, couldn't change virtual desktops with ctrl-left arrow, etc). The author didn't specify what driver he used to do the effect. His laptop uses Nvidia videocard which means the effect won't work with open source driver version because of its lack of 3D hardware acceleration. He has corrected since then. > - The fedora sound theme is indeed a joke... thank god its disabled by default. The GDM beep is... well lets just say its better to be deaf than hearing the PC speaker beep every time GDM loads. We need audio effect artist which were not available since the existance of Fedora Project. Feel free to make sound theme for Fedora Core so you will be more musicians for the project in a long term. Contributing is better than whining. ..
