Sorry guys, I switched to Fedora.

Hardy was so awesome, but Intrepid is buggy. Text disappears from buttons, Firefox does strange things and the sound acts funny sometimes. The focused window isn't always on top (most annoying when it's the shutdown menu) and sometimes it freezes on the password dialog coming out of sleep.

The biggest single problem for me was the lack of a real-time kernel (which I wasn't aware of until after upgrading). Since I'm an amateur multimedia producer I need it badly.

Instead of returning to Hardy I just switched to 64 Studio, but it didn't work so I installed Fedora.

In-between I had to spend the day in Vista. It's SO annoying! I guess you get used to it, though, since nobody but me seems to mind.

One parting question: How can I get the Ubuntu "Human" GNOME theme and icons in Fedora? The black, white and blue of Fedora is very ugly.

I would check gnome-look.org, as they are probably on there somewhere. Also, this moving to Fedora does in no may mean you have to leave the forums ;)

Here is the Human wallpaper, GDM, and Theme.

why do you feel you have to part ways with the community? just because you want to use something else doesn't mean you can't hang out. lots of people around here don't use ubuntu, but have a general love for linux. ):P

Fedora is a good distro. I haven't used Ubuntu for any length of time since around post 300 (you do the math!), but I still post here.

of my 7 personal boxes 4 of them are fedora ^^ excellent choice!

+1. You don't gotta go. We'll only throw you out if you go back to Windows!

J/K. :lolflag:

Stick around. :)

Use what works for you.

Sweet! How do you like it?

As for Fedora, I never cared much for it. I tried it several times but rubbed me the wrong way. Ubuntu always calls me back no matter what distro I try.

No need to apologize, I think Fedora is awesome.

Firstly if the LTS version 8.04 was working great, then no need to go with an intermediate version. Secondly, you don't need to apologize ;) use what works for you, even if its not Linux. Finally, Fedora is a great OS, and your still using Linux, so you still get all of the F/OSS goodness and the great Linux/GNU community to hang out with.

Merry Christmas

Well, after a day in Fedora here's what I think: Whilst Intrepid has a lot of little problems, Fedora has just a few big ones: Most hanously, it looks like there's no Flash for 64-bit users *at all*. Other problems include the difficulty in installing nVidia drivers, the very strange file browser and the general lack of stuff in the default repos.

What Fedora does better than Ubuntu: -- PulseAudio is implemented bug-free -- The shutdown menu is drawn the first time! -- "System > Preferences" menu is divided into sections instead of having on long list that goes from the top to the bottom of the screen

We installed Fedora on our server and it worked great! As a server. I really did not like Fedora's functionality, it might have been just our hardware but it seemed way slower and more frustrating than ubuntu. Yet we still have the server running Fedora, I just think Ubuntu is a better every-day OS

I've been toying with OpenSolaris 2008-11 live cd lately. Wow it's beautiful-& good hardware support. But too many unanswered configuration questions keep me from taking the plunge. Ubuntu just works too well.
