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.

I'm not insulting newbies, I have more faith in them than you do apparently. Microsoft got sued for bundling sun and will not bundle it with longhorn, will Newbies not be able to install java? They seem to find winamp, nero, zonealarm and flash just fine. So again. Newbies are more than capible of fixing problems. This is just an inconvience not a show stopper. Just like on windows they have a problem they ask thier friend who knows this stuff. Or read how to fix it depending on the individual.
if a newbie can not download a .conf file, copy it over the old one, and paste two commands. They are in for MUCH bigger problems than yum install java. There are distro's out there for people like that, Fedora is directed at a different group, people who enjoy playing with linux not people who think iexplorer is the internet. How come Debian doesn't get flamed for this stuff? It has the same 'free over closed' law.
