Hello There,
I'm taking this conversation at the end but I must say some words. So
sorry for not keeping Russell Bhai's request for the time being.
We like oils and don't like to be straight. You did not ask for any
help here and I neither pulled your leg nor discouraged you. May be I
pulled your leg on some other place and that is why you are hiding your
name.
I appreciate your initiative but alas you took a wrong side this time
:) . I wanted to use Linux and the first version was Red Hat 4, which I
got free with some Indian IT mag. That time my brother (was a CSE
student) and his friends tried to use it and after 9 days of trying
they successfully brought the Kernel Desktop Environment on.
It's still that painful. Let me give you a small example and then you
might understand why we should forget about all the other Linux
distribution and start using Ubuntu. Here in Ubuntu I wrote "apt-get
install skype" from my Gnome's shell and it installed Skype and all
it's KDE dependencies (
as Skype is a QT application). Now when I tried to install Skype
through YUM, it says this not found that not found (for example
libqt3c102-mt not found, libqt3c102 not found) so why should I keep trying and trying and trying?
Can you change the system? No you are not. I did not attack you, I just
wanted to tell you Red Hat's ultimate goal is to make money, so they
will not change anything, our options are not closed yet. We have BOSS
distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, so why bother to keep trying
Fedora. :)
Hope you get the message. If you want to stick with Fedora, you are
absolutely welcome. None of us here have any problem. What I mentioned
above is only my personal opinion and not a part of any survey. But I
feel that is the major reason people don't like to use that OS as a
primary daily life computing OS.
One more thing, we really feel disturbed when we spend huge time on
finding solution and make the solution to public. Make that as simple
as my kid can understand. But people don't go through the solution and
ask nonsense questions. I honestly feel disturbed then.
Thanks for the understanding
Omi
