Fedora Core 6 sul desktop….?
Molto interessante questa risposta arrivata sul sito lwn.net, riguardante la questione della bontà di Fedora Core 6 come “ambiente desktop”. Voglio riportare esplicitamente l’ultima parte del post, che tra l’altro lascia trasparire molto bene, come la qualità dell’interazione (per dire così) con “fredde” macchine e sistemi operativi, è anche definita e formata dal “surplus” di affezione ed interesse che proviene, naturalmente, dall’uomo (e che rende l’intera faccenda davvero interessante)…
I love Fedora Core6. It does everything for me. True, I have two or three web sites to thank for handholding my initial efforts at installing “non-public” multi-media interfaces, for helping me install databases and for giving me an insight into linux capabilities.Fedora Core6 and its two predecessors have never crashed my system. The preoccupation with testing, and with ensuring that any “extras” package integrates well should be appreciated. Give praise to the developers and support staff.Regarding UBUNTU, it too is a fine distribution. Had I started with it first, I would possibly still be with it. But I started with Fedora Core4, and have entire satisfaction. Why change 4 quarters for a dollar.I write code for a living. I do have a technical background. Yet, my grandaughter (age 5) knows how to log onto the system, to start the games she enjoys, and also to use firefox to visit her prefered web sites. She cannot as yet read or write. So, is Fedora, or for that matter, any Gnome based system ready for the desktop? I think that my answer again is a “definite yes”.
