FC2 = Win 3.1 wanabe

[Gary Waters]

I agree with this stance. I tried to install Fedora core 2 on a dell
optiplex and had no success. It started spontaneously rebooting at CD2.
I've also read about problems upgrading from FC1-FC2, so I'm avoiding
doing such at this time. I've accepted the fact that there may be some
minor growing pains with FC2 and will opt to  remain with FC1 for the
time being. I'm having a ball with FC1. It's a great OS!  It's the
second linux distro (correct term?) I've used, the previous being RedHat
9.0. FC1 has proved to be an awesome learning tool for a linux newbie
such as myself. I'm sure that once FC2 has got beyond it's minor
"growing pains" it will be just as enjoyable. The people that have
devoted their time and energy in developing the Fedora line deserve
nothing less than our highest compliments and, more importantly, our
patience....just my 2 cents (CDN)....
