Re: Fedora 9

Nice and flawless are two different worlds.   Yum has it's limitations
as I recently found with trying to install phpmyadmin on a RH ES 5
server which once install required php-mcrypt ...which required
mcrypt..etc...none of these where resolve installing it via yum.

I dono.  Yum is quite nice, and I use it for adding software for the
most part.  It's rare in RH/Fedora that I install from an rpm.  Usually
if it's not in yum, I'm going to have to build from src anyways.

I'd really wish that red hat/fedora would address the rpm dependency
hell that is encountered with rpms.  That would be major development in
my book.

Subject: [NMLUG] Fedora 9

 

Fedora 9 comes out tomorrow.  Most of the MVLug users know that I'm a
big fedora fan.  I will be installing both fedora 9 x86 and amd64
kernels as soon as I get them downloaded, and will definitely let people
know how they are.  Fedora 8 has been relatively stable for me, and I'm
happy with it.  I hope that 9 continues this progression.  I know that
there's a new version of KDE this release... and a few improvements to
the acpi.  If anyone has questions about this os, please don't hesitate
to ask, I'll do my best to answer what I know, which some may say isn't
very much.
