color=#0000ff size=2>After trying many distros, I had chosen Redhat as
the Linux I would use. I started with RH 4. and upgraded through
8. I then tried every FC release up to and including FC6. Each
one gave me more problems that the previous one. Some of the problems
are things that someone experienced with Linux could
probably fix, like no standard support of my USB ports (SDA,
etc). They have also moved some of the mounted file systems to an
unexpected directory. Personally if it isn't going to work right out of
the box, I really don't have time to fool with it. Using Linux should be
beyond the need to tinker with it to make it work.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Mostly the problems have been small things, like
poor menu operation in Gnome applications. After installing some fairly
simple apps on FC6 it just locked up, and would not reboot. After
re-installing it three times, I just trashed it and am now looking for a new
distro to standardize on.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>
