[LinuxEXP] Fedora Core 4

Firefox on Linux

Finally, I finally got my Fedora Core 4 running smoothly :). And I'm really glad to say that I'm happy using it, and I didn't find much problems in doing all the things that I wanted: As in all the basic tasks that I'd usually do.

The only gripe that I have is still the installation and stringing things to get things work. As much as the process has been improved and simplified over the past few years, it's still get me frustrated when I have to deal with some of the incompatibilities/"not supported by distro" problems. It's really like having myself going back to those Windows95 days when I struggle to get some simple things to work. (more specifically, device drivers!)

Currently I'm fooling around with it :), as well as pinging up yum for any applications that would make my Linux experience enjoyable.

I'll jot down more about it in the future, relating to some of the things that I have learnt from the Internet.

Thanks for pointing that out! :) I got it fixed already. (reasons why to hate fixed-width layout :p)

Anyway, so far I'm having fun using FC4, you definitely need to try it out :D.

thanks for the yumex link! for gui installation goodness, I use synaptic: the gui for apt-get.

If things fail with yum, I try apt, and vice versa... so far no probs ;)
