Oooh.

I'm currently LOVING my Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx release, but I certainly wouldn't mind giving Fedora 13 a try - considering Fedora Core 6 was my first-ever distro.

I'm also waiting for a local mirror :P
 
fedora was also my first *taste* of the penguin. maybe i'll spin this sometime too. (has been climbing distrowatch ratings, for what they're worth, over the last while). quite happy with the .deb based offerings right now though, i must say (except the uber-sucky kubuntu 10.04 LTS !). running mint@home and now ubuntu@work and dig it ++. so, fedora needs to produce the goods.
 
Local download links yet? Maybe Bittorrent might be the best way right now.
 
Posting this from Fedora 13 KDE release.

My comments:
1. Installed ssh, but on next bootup had to be started manually
2. Installed ddclient..on next bootup had to be started manually
3. Installed Nginx..on next bootup had to be started manually
4. Setup DSL with pppoe-setup...ditto
5. Installed knemo..that worked after setting it up under 'System settings'

Do we see a trend here? Kubuntu has spoilt me!

Installed Firefox, but cannot seem to get Flash support working :( , but working on it. EDIT: Got it going !

Otherwise, 'su' works the way it should ;)

Plugged in my K3565 HSDPA modem... worked OTB :)

Just untar the tar.gz, move libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and restart firefox.

64bit Flash is like the shakiest thing EVAR. Try this instead: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-flash-java-realplayer-under-64bit-firefox.html

:confused: Been using the 64 bit version since it was first released and I've had no problems "researching" various flash games.
I used nspluginwrapper before that but it was annoying always having to pkill npview.bin when it was hogging the sound device.
