I was fed up with the installation process of Gentoo and dropped it. It take too long and I hate it. Instead, I downloaded Fedora Core 5 (test 2) and installed it. This is what I like and here is why:
1. Installation is very nice, strait forward. This time it is modified to be even more comfortable.
a. Packages chooser is better. Applications are now organized in a way that you do not need to check huge lists of packages. It is very nice this time
b. Timezone chooser is fancier :)
c. Firewall and SELinux parts of install are moved to firstboot – less stuff installation :)
2. It is complete, I do not need to tweak a lot. Right after install I get a full functional desktop which is quite fast on my IBM ThinkPad 390X (450MHz, 192RAM) even when running KDE.
I don\’t know, maybe someone likes spending hours (or even days) on setting one bloody PC, but it is definitely not for me.
