Fedora 8 Review: The beauty and the beast

Hi

We had a codec buddy bug which fails to show up the initial message and that in turns makes it pretty confusing. A update has already fixed it but I doubt reviewers are going to first do an update. Atleast for the games, we have a wrapper that somewhat explains the situation without pointing to the drivers or anything like that. We might have to want have a similar generic message.

"There is no doubt Fedora 8 is an excellent distribution. Redhat is a major contributor to Linux and you can see that in Fedora which includes many exciting new features. Fedora 8 is very stable, the package management is one of the best out there, security is tight as always and finally the presentation have improved to make one of the best looking Gnome distributions I have seen. However in the eyes of the average desktop user Fedora fails miserably. He will have to go hunting for third party repositories to get nVidia or Ati drivers installed and then get confused by the new codec tool. He will even have to go searching the web to find out why Flash fails when trying to install it in Firefox"
