Speaking of installation, if I want to help someone install GNU/Linux, I have much more confidence to go with Ubuntu than Fedora. For one thing with Fedora I need 5 CDs (dont tell me about DVD it is not available on some areas), the chance of getting a corrupted CD is much much bigger. Secondly the installation has not been tested thoroughly i.e. it failed in a lot of machines. For my own desktop, I actually have to do a minimal FC5 install and then upgrade to FC6. It is very dangerous to frustrate newcomers in their first try. They will never come back to Fedora and try their every effort to persuade others to go away. I feel very sorry for a friend in Philippines, I recommend him to try FC. He managed to download the 5CDs with 60k/s to find out it didn't install for him.
Leo, Please have him to contact me direct if he can't afford to buy from local or online vendors. We'll accommodate him from Fedora Free Media Program[1].
