Couldn't stop myself from trying the new Fedora 2-test1 release, even if it is an alpha! The 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.5 all in the same release was just to much candy to turn away from; too bad it's more sour rather than sweet at this (beta) point than I would have expected.

If you are an experienced Linux user, just avoid distros that come preinstalled with hacked versions of vanilla desktop environments, or any software for that matter. Believe me, stock versions are less buggier. You might up having to configure most things manually, but you do it once and forget it.
I hate it when distros add their own hack to stock versions of DEs. They end up causing more problems than they think they solve. In fact, I left debian because their GNOME was just annoyingly different from Stock GNOME.
I mean, there are things distros can hack like themes, wallpapers, filesystem structures. But when they start hacking interfaces, menus, or compiling binaries with intentionally crippled features, it gets on my nerves.
Okay, I'm done ranting.
