Report;
This LAN gaming was a 2 days event.
My speech had a duration of one and half hour, which was about OSS and how easy is to use them.
Things i've discussed:
- mp3 versus ogg - licenses : GPL, Propriety, BSD , which was very interactive. - intelligent downloading with yum - XGL, I used my girlfriend's dapper to do that.
In the end, there was questions, lots of questions. I was surprised.
Nevertheless, there was some propositions too,
A guy told me that he shifted from Fedora to Ubuntu, just because he did a yum update from FC4 to FC5 which failed. At his disposal was ubuntu breezy, so he gave it a try. In accordance to him, there is a lack of tutorials for users (for FC) that missing compared to Ubuntu. See http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100 (note he wasn't talking about patents softs)
Eg. Which I tried myself and gave up to sleep. When Fedora Core 5 is installed on a USB harddisk ( which any new linux user will do), after a successfull installation, it won't boot from the USB just because the drivers are not modprobe before seeking the kernel. Some of the linux users gave up, Fedora for Ubuntu for this reason, because they found a howto some how on the internet. e.g what my girlfriend did : http://zerlinna.blogspot.com/2006/03/dual-boot-on-external-usb-drive-with.ht...
Most of the linux users there are using Ubuntu, for the mere simple reason Ubuntu's ShipIt. These guys don't go to each linux events which are hardly enough in their locality. So no Fedora DVDs!
In fact, I think, many users have given a try to Fedora, because they heard so much about it. But in the end, they don't have enough materials online to continue their journey with it. Personnally it is something the Fedora Project should work on. Fedora Marketing is working good, but the achievement is not durable.

OK, ...
Chitlesh I did also the update from three maschines from FC4 to FC5 and ok, they all failed ... In this case you're right!
But the issue that there are'nt enough HOWTOs and descriptions are in the web I personally NOT agree with you. From standing I'll know more that 5 big pages where to find a lot of information about Fedora, updating, post installation etc. etc. ... But maybe what is important is: we don't have any summery page where to find the most helps that's correct; but I think, the unity project (http://fedoraunity.org/) will close this issue and help that we're getting ONE Source ...

Most of my friends use Ubuntu, some use other distros (Gentoo, etc), and only one or two of them use Fedora. They are power users (I'm in a Computer Engineering degree, so they all know their way around Linux or at least have someone to ask) so the lack of HOWTOs isn't a problem.
I don't really know why they dislike Fedora, and I could never actually figure it out. Besides not using Fedora, they look down on it.
I'll try again to figure out why (I hope I'll be more successful this time!) and tell you my results.
Thanks,
Andre
Andre,
Can you get in touch with the local Ambassadors in Brazil? We are doing some work locally with events, distribution and some projects and we need some help.
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo Menezes
