[Cialug] Fedora?

Wed Jul 25 09:09:58 CDT 2007

I've also a RHEL fan. I really, really like using RHEL 5 on my desktop.
I even have all the multi-media stuff working. Which is a no brainer for
other distros, but was kind of a *pain* with RHEL with an amd 64 cpu.

I'd run Fedora,  but I really need at least a 2 year life cycle, as  I
make a living using my computers.
