I have been using Linux from 1996/1997 (I am not sure, but one of those years and it was slackware) and soon moved to RedHat Linux. I also saw the birth of Fedora and all the concerns it raised. I am glad to see it has come a long way. I have a server which has seen upgrades (or fresh installs with migration of configuration files) from FC1. I will upgrade it to Fedora 11 soon. Till now I never saw Fedora as desktop OS and found Mandriva as better choice. This time I took a different route and installed Fedora 11 on my desktop (had a partition available) to compare with Mandriva. I used rpmfusion and now I can use it just like I use Mandriva and have virtualbox running a copy of XP for development ( I am .Net developer by profession). The server will definitely follow the suite soon. So far I always wanted to convince my wife to let me have Linux as main desktop and if she needs XP (for software like MS-Money, she has been entering data into it since 2003), she can always run virtualbox, I have tested my development environment to be quite stable by running Visual Studio 2008 and also 2010 beta and there is no problem. So in next few days, I will be migrating my apps and data from XP (physical partition) to XP under virtualbox. Long mail but I wanted to share my joy.
