Fedora Core 6, first impressions

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

It’s a bitch to install FC6, but once it’s on the box it’s a beauty. Turing on “Desktop Effects” (aiglx to you geeks) reduces my memoy consumption by 10% and the processor usage similarly. I’ve no idea how they did that.

GAIM 2.0 is a work of art. Beagle integration into the file-open dialog is a triumph of the open-source development methodology.

I can’t ever go back to a non-aiglx box now.

More reflections in a few days when I’ve used it for a while.
