DjmUK Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yeah, I've used this back when it was released (March 10th) and it's too unstable for my liking. FC3 & Gentoo is for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I've been running this for a couple of weeks now. Updating pretty much daily. The only issue I've had so far is that the new Nvidia drivers lock up when I use the composite extension. It's a pretty solid distro, the same as Ubuntu - Gnome of course. Looks like I finally found a new Distro. I've been looking to replace Mandrake on my main machine, as I like to stay a little more bleeding edge. Mandrake is an awesome beginner's distro and overall very smooth. But I needed a change. I think I'll wait till the release to install on my laptop, which is still running Mandrake 10.1. A little side note, I have been running my own customized build of KDE, so I can't really say there are no issues with stability there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
