Fedora Test 3, is, most certainly, as the name says, a test. In my experience there are a few problems and a few bugs that would keep me from recommending it as an everyday desktop replacement, but nonetheless, Fedora is an Operating System (distro) worth watching out.

<earthworm> what's going on with the Fedora Graphical Boot? the mandrake one i used years ago went straight from Lilo to the GFX. The Fedora one (when i tried Test II) spewed out a load of ugly stuff first. Why is this?
<ska-fan> It's a different GFX.
<earthworm> they used a different system to Mandrake then?
<ska-fan> With mandrake you have got the ugly stuff in gfx.
* mull was so happy when he read about how to disable graphical boot...
<earthworm> i hear the SuSe one is even nicer than Mandrake's
<ska-fan> they probably de-uglyfied it, but it's basically the same stuff.
<earthworm> are there plans to completly get rid of the text output before Fedora 1.0 or is the graphical boot staying as is?
no comment ....
looks like the people in #fedora at that point didn't think this was a problem
not that those lot can be 100% relied upon for quotation, but i got the feeling they thought it was ok as it is.
#FEDORA ...
