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.
