newbie here... trying to make linux work as a gui interface with
postgresql... found fc9 unworkable too as compared to fc8....our own opinion
is that fc9 has implemented some features we don't understand. e.eg. off the
bat, after installation...the samba services status appear unknown in the
services window...I think so do other services (somebody posted a reason for
it I think... but it involves several 'classic' prompt windows edits...) so
for now we are sticking to fc8...thankful for all the efforts plugged into
the fedora project in general... but just wishing we understood the thinking
behind the changes in fc9...
