Some more on software

It seems that for the past few days I got stuck on checking up different bits of software. This time I want to share some more of my expirience:

1. NetworkManager – I haven\’t checked this apps for a while now and I was amazed on how good it is. It detects all network settings and informs me about all WiFi networks available in the area. It is also very handy to switch to a WiFi connection detected just by selecting it in the list.

2. Firefox 2 – I have installed FF2 immediately after I got FC6 running on my laptop. It seems to good, with some additional nice features like inline spell check, but I have missed one other thing there – a restart session restore (thanks for CBN to pointing it out). Now I have removed a Google Sync extension since I was using it only to restore my pages and now it can be done directory by Firefox built-in functionality.

3. GNOME – I\’ve been using KDE for a long time and like it a lot, but it seems that GNOME works much better (with all those effects and whatever) in FC6 release. I think that I will probably stick with GNOME for a while and see what I do later (though I am waiting for KDE 4 a lot).
