I have used Fedora since day one as I was on RH before that and I can tell you for a good number of years the channel was nothing like it is now. Its actually been worse than it is now. Its so bad that I left the channel many years ago and I go back perhaps a couple times a year to ask what tend to be very technical questions. I get rabid responses about 30% of the time. The Fedora Forums on the hand are a far more responsive and productive forum. Freenode in general in my opinion has degraded greatly in the past decade. Its almost approaching an Ef/Under Net nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-63211115432929481612011-05-12T14:41:42.921-05:002011-05-12T14:41:42.921-05:00I agree...I'd like my linux computer to just w...I agree...I'd like my linux computer to just work...<br />Something that hasn't happened yet.

I was thinking more along the lines of throwing a stick of dynamite into a swimming pool full of jello, but its about the same effect.<br /><br />Not that I haven't done it myself! I loved the old SuSE wallpaper for a root login - large lit fuse bombs on a red background with giant yellow warning signs. Of course, that wallpaper didn't stop me for a second from totally trashing my system...Andy Proughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251534049104528928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-29655662012305439212011-05-12T09:16:15.229-05:002011-05-12T09:16:15.229-05:00First of all I totally agree with you on both with...First of all I totally agree with you on both with this and previuos post.<br />Second, you need a big ego to lead any kind of project.... ;)Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376491118163092449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-4326446939073649092011-05-11T20:09:54.359-05:002011-05-11T20:09:54.359-05:00Jeff - Its a blog, personal views get thrown in th...Jeff - Its a blog, personal views get thrown in there from time to time. You also started the post with <br /><br />"Fair warning - I am about to go off on a rant here."<br /><br />I think that covers all your bases. Also 99% of your posts are quality, helpful, and informations posts. <br /><br />Just my 2 cents<br /><br />Thanks<br />Tony <br /><br />PS: You do have a big ego...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
