Fedora Core 5
I finally got off my ass and installed Fedora Core 5 on my desktop. I had an early attempted foray into desktop Linux about 2 years ago, with a dual partition of Fedora Core 2 and Windows 2000. It worked alright, although I used Windows more than Linux and I ran into a couple problems installing different pieces of software on Linux. Then my hard drive failed, and I never bothered to really get my desktop up and running again, instead relying on my windows XP laptop.
This time around, I am somewhat more comfortable with Linux, although I still have a long ways before I am a power user. I am not bothering to install Windows and am going to try and use Linux almost exclusively. Notice the word “try”: I always seems to run into small problems with Linux, due to my unfamiliarity with it. But this time around, I think I can work through them. Besides, I need to learn Linux better and most of the programs I use now are open-source (Eclipse, Open Office, Firebox).
