    This is waayyyyyy off the wall but.....

    A guy used to teach an "adult education" class at my college on "Linux programming".....

    He used a Fedora book that was back at COMMAND LINE....

    I ran into a few of his students at different parties and they ALL said.....that.......they never actually got to have an "operational Linux"....but they did "work through the book".

    I kind of wondered about that.... when Fedora was available in a magazine as a weird included cd...

    but....

    Then....at another party.....this one was a "pool party" whereat the GregMan had built a "projector" from an overhead projector and a laptop screen and ran a Linux....I think that it was Open Suse....to project.....well.....ummm.....videos.....on a screen which I was conspiratorial to build..... the folks in the pool had consumed WAAAAYYYY too many alcoholic beverages....

    But anyway....I discovered that a fellow standing near me was the "instructor"....

    So....since I am a brash sort of fellow....I asked why he chose to use such an OBVIOUSLY OLD(to any Linux user) book?

    The reply:

    "Yuk, Yuk, Yuk, I got them cheap off e-bay.,....still have a few....do you want one?"

    So...... yep.... fedora is a fine distro, and KDE on it is great...I actually TRIED HARD...to like the new Unity interface.....but I could never get into the rpm stuff.

      I may have to try Fedora again one of these days. I hope they have any nvidia issues resolved (even with nuoveau) by then (I believe I've mentioned those issues in previous posts in other threads here at KFN). I wonder if they also have a netinstall iso available like the Ubuntu minimal CD. (I'll look myself though)
