I haven’t used a Fedora Linux system since Fedora Core 2. Back then the yum updater was terrible and I went looking in search of something that sucked a lot less. On the recommendation of a few folks at the local LUG, I ended up on Ubuntu, and haven’t looked back. Now that our office has a couple of CentOS 5.2 machines I figured it might be time to give an RPM and YUM based Linux distro another look.
The installation of Fedora 9 wasn’t terribly difficult. It asked me a few questions about how I wanted the disk arranged, create a non-root user and such. Typical Linux stuff. I chose to do a network based install due to a severe lack of spare DVD’s around the office, and a fairly narrow T1 shared by 5 people. It took a fair amount of time to build the system, and download updates but I expected that.
