reviews like this are simply teasing me cause i still haven't installed it. the downloaded ISO is literally poking me and making fun of me as i work on my F8.

Haha same here, and worse then that is the fact that my direct download crawled to 2kb/s overnite, so when I got home from work it had hardly moved! Almost got it though through torrents :-p....can't wait

I really like how to direct downloaded image is borked and not readable. not even the one I burned at low speed will read at boot.

meh, trying again with the torrent wich is as slow as ever. wonder if they have this thing on any none public trackers. cause linux geejs are apparently the worst of the selfish leeches ever :)

^^^ Huh? Selfish? I am seeding for Shift, Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Fedora (7 different versions of Fedora:cd/dvd/kde/gnome/live) right now.

As for the technical issue of the download image, is the sha1sum correct? (meaning, did it download properly). If so, then the problem is your burn.

If the sha1sum is not correct, then the problem is why you would burn several copies of a download image that is demonstrably defective?

Either way, I am a little confused.

no, the images are just fine, and the burner is works just fine, had no problems burning any other images bootable or not.

this one however... burns fine, readable after it's burned, reboot and it's unable to read it, reboot to windows and I can't read the disk there either anymore. highly confusing. would make an awesome DRM system though, self destructing DVD :p

Doesn't Fedora come in two versions? One you install and the other is just a LIVECD? It isn't combined as in other distros of Linux.

Thought I'd try the live cd. Couple of problems that would stop me from installing this. First, without getting my hands dirty manually editing config files (and why should I?) I can't get my dual-screen setup to work as an extended desktop. Second, for some reason it just refuses to automatically mount my existing HD partitions. Again, I could probably do it in a terminal, but I expect this sort of thing to just work. Third, and I nearly fell off my chair laughing at this...

Seriously?

All I wated to do was play a video I had on my server... Now, I fully understand why they choose not to put proprietry codecs into Fedora, but what is this?

At least the mp3 codec is free.... bizarely. :wacko:

"One of Fedora's main objectives is not only to contain free and open source software, but also to be on the leading edge of such technologies." from wikipedia

why is there a price for those?

why laugh at fedora? why dont you email your 'lord' or 'congressmen' ? huh ?
...

Exactly.

I know why they're not included - the same reasons why they're not in Ubuntu. So why, then, are they a free download in Ubuntu and not Fedora? And if they can't offer a free download, why can't they suggest where else they might be downloaded instead? I just don't understand this.

im going to be installing fedora 9 soon, but i havnt heard if theres working nvidia drivers out yet. ive got a 9600GT.

It is listed on their webpage showing "Supported Products" http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html

So you will be able to use the proprietary nVidia drivers in whatever Linux you choose.

i am having SUPER time with fedora 9, distro with experimental features for experienced users :D

The kernel modesetting is Awesome and is 'almost' stable but my glx score went down to ~230 from ~1000 switching from terminals is Super fast. i havent been able to use compiz-fusion on my intel agp but default compiz works. which is okay.

The NEW Package manager is just pure fun. yesterday, i installed almost 50-60 apps while i was working during my shift, didnt even bother me. might do review atnew thread if you guys want.

im still not seeing them.

i did a driver search and it found nothing.

why would people be saying there are no working nvidia drivers for fedora 9?

Driver search? You couldn't see it listed on the page I linked? :unsure:

Here is your card, listed right on that page.

    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
