I figured out the screen on the install pretty quickly. Crap that had to be done was highlighted in red box. Once that was done, the highlight went away. Kind of bozo'ed to not have a linear process but at least it won't call a hard stop while a network address get's looked up or some other piddly thing. Would have been better to use full red/green nomenclature (crazy redneck Canadians ALWAYS make more sense :-)<br>
<br>It _still_ G3 on the desktop. <sarcasm> I love all windows defaulting to full screen so all I have to do bounce back and forth between research screen and install screen is throw the mouse at the upper left corner and then select the correct shrunken screen from the dozen or so that I can't read and the rearrange if I kill a window so I can memorize by location </sarcasm><br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
PS, I wasn't saying I could do a presentation, I was saying I wanted to see a presentation.<br>
<br>
PPS, The guys on the Tux Radar podcast (the same group that publishes Linux Format magazine) were sort of blasting the Fedora team for confusing changes to the installer UI and a new lock screen that you cannot figure out how to get out of and (if I remember right) a desktop that's empty and non obvious what to do. I don't know anything about Fedora, but I thought I'd pass this along.<br>

yeah, looks like they screwed the pooch. I could not figure out how to do the install the way I wanted it done. Yup, good ol spoke and wheels system, because the tried and true was soooooo confusing. Idiots.<div class="HOEnZb">

Great! So we'll have a short on one of those and why it's good and what<br>

This is getting pretty good!<br>

Fedora? (must compare/contrast to RHEL as well as non-rpm distros)<br>
