@TheArnabDas Yeah, I’m definitely not a fan of the new comment system on the video pages. Once you get to the “All Comments” page it’s not so bad.

What about gnome login screen
Report Spam/Abuse
@aliahsan81 I’m not sure what you’re asking about. Do you mean the “Login Window/Screen” option in the System Preferences menu? That’s currently not available in Fedora, sorry. It would definitely be nice, but it hasn’t been available for several releases.
Report Spam/Abuse
Yes,You are correct,I was taking about loginscreen that was available in fedora 8,where you can change loginsccreen theme.I have read the redesign gdm,In fedora 13 they have included a new tool accountdailg,that will care these sort of things,But i have check in beta live and in install accoundailog ,No such option to change GDM theme yet
.
Report Spam/Abuse
@aliahsan81 Yes, I haven’t found a simple way to change it either, aside from moving to KDM and using their setup tool.
Report Spam/Abuse
@thisweekinlinux So there is some chance,They will add this feature.Because i dont like using kdm .Its been lots of time since fedora 8 the drop that.
Report Spam/Abuse
@aliahsan81 I certainly hope they do. I know when I used to use Foresight Linux (created by some of the guys who started Fedora, but not based on it) they removed gdmsetup because they said it was a security risk. It’s entirely possible they’re delaying it for that reason.

you made a mistake…… you said at the end “and i will see you nextime” no you won’t…. shouldn’t that be “and YOU will see ME nextime?” ahahhaahha

@kaddy01980 Heh, yeah. That’s just the signoff I’ve liked the best since I started doing this. It does sort of feel like I get to see you guys by reading all the comments and checking out your profiles though.

This is very closely related to YDL, correct?
Report Spam/Abuse
@Lernatix in an indirect sort of way. YDL is based on CentOS, which is a build of an old version of Red Hat. Fedora is the newer, “community edition” of Red Hat. It’s sort of a test bed for new Red Hat releases.

Not a fan of KDE, This (Fedora); With Gnome options I’m willing to use… Most times simplicity = stupidity. Call me a XP/Gnome fan but come on, point and click is faster than type and think
Report Spam/Abuse
@TradieTrev I’m definitely a gnome fan myself.
Report Spam/Abuse
@thisweekinlinux Must add also, I’m a hater of stupid window effects in any OS
. I should make a rant video, to wake people too their sensors and destroy such resource hungry decremented visual masturbation tools
Report Spam/Abuse
@TradieTrev I get so many questions in the live shows about whether I use desktop effects or not. I’ve used them before, and they’re just not my cup of tea. They’re awesome to look at for a few minutes, then I get bored and disable them. I would much rather have all of my processing/graphics power going to whatever app I’m running rather than making everything look pretty.

I really want to try this, but I’m not sure if it’s really going to replace my ubuntu desktop, 10.04 seems to be blowing away fedora visually, but then again, i prefer performance over looks. Are there any things that work faster/better/easier in fedora?
Report Spam/Abuse
@maroon5rule Fedora has a lot of new, innovative things, and in my experience it does run a bit faster, but at the end of the day they’re using the same kernel, the same DE (Gnome), and a ton of other things that are the same. Fedora’s packages will always be a bit closer to what the creators intended, and that’s part of what I like about it. You get what you were intended to get, not what one person decides you should get.
Worst case, download the ISO and give it a shot, it’s free!

@thisweekinlinux That’s what I thought, I just read this article yesterday about Linus Torvalds preferring Fedora and KDE. I know it’s just a choice, but seeing that it’s Linus, he probably has some very valid reasons and since I never really tried Fedora longer then a couple of days, think I should at least check it out, and as you reviewed, it has some very interesting apps. I think my opinion on KDE will remain the same though, I admit that KDE looks more “2010″, but Simple remains important
Report Spam/Abuse
@thisweekinlinux I suppose in the end it’s basically the same, only 10.04 has some very nice monochrome icons, social integration, etc etc. but in the end i remain a geeky user preferring the terminal over a lot of GUIs. I prefer finch over pidgin for one thing. Only the apt-get I will miss, but I suppose yum (i think) has pretty much the same features and shouldn’t be hard to use at all, and as you said, and as I have heard, packages in Fedora seem to be newer then the ones in ubuntu.

I gotta say, it’s mighty nice of you to answer ALL comments, now that’s a true Linux hero (Y)

@maroon5rule Kde’s definitely got some eyecandy to it. I just personally don’t care for the Qt framework. Most of that has to do with the amount of time I’ve spent in Gnome, and part of it is just too “bubbly” for me.
Report Spam/Abuse
@maroon5rule I actually like yum a little better… using apt, you have to do an apt-get update then apt-get upgrade, but with yum it’s just yum udpate (one command = time saved).

@spriteman105 What can I say, I’ve got a lot of time on my hands and community means a lot to me.
