The main reasons why I have been hesitant about staying with Red Hat and
why I've been considering switching to SuSE are:
1. Ximian does not support Fedora because of GNOME issues (Ximian
is based on GNOME 2.2, it looks like Fedora uses a later release, and
this could cause problems). I'm not all that concerned about keeping
the entire Ximian Desktop, but I don't want to lose Evolution. ;-)
2. Up2date. I'm not savvy enough to update everything that needs updating
entirely on my own, and I really appreciated having the up2date agent
to keep my system nice and secure.
The FAQ seems to indicate that Ximian is indeed supported under Fedora
Core 1 (though a complete uninstall and reinstall will be necessary in
order to make it work), but I'm not sure whether Up2date will be supported
in the way that I am used to. Anyone know for sure?
Right now I'm considering downloading Fedora and putting it on a test
machine. Has anyone installed it, and has anyone had any
good/bad/horrid/ecstatic experiences with it?
