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."
Not to mention faster. It seems that when these distros do end up doing custom hacks, especially on KDE or GNOME, not only does it make the apps buggier, but also slower. Redhat is not the only distro affected by this either.
Also, I want the real thing. KDE and GNOME are perfect as they are. Why lessen a great thing? I was done with Redhat when they first modded KDE and still am.
