I hate people who do reviews on new distributions 20 minutes after the official release however I needed to vent my spleen as soon as possible with regards Fedora’s latest offering, version 9 (Sulphur).

As far as I’m aware it was released slightly earlier than announced but I may be wrong anyway I supposedly downloaded the DVD via HTTP, I know they want you to use Torrents but they are crap in my opinion, unless you have a T1 connection you’ll get shafted most users close their connection once completed anyway, I know I do and the download speeds are abysmal compared to FTP. Anyway I left it downloading over night at work and the next day it had completed (Or so I thought) shoved a blank DVD-R in and got the size mismatch error “Hm, never mind lets carry on anyway” shoved the now burnt DVD disc in the ROM drive of my employers Dell GX150 (PIII 800, 256MB, 40GB) “And lo did it grind to a halt” at vmlinuz…….. no errors or anything just sat there like a scared rabbit caught in the headlights of my rage.
