Dropping Debian etch in favor of Fedora
I will soon move from my beloved Debian etch (or testing) to the upcoming Fedora Core 5.
How did I come to take such a decision?
To me, Debian has advantages such as its package and system management features; I'm addicted to apt-get and DebConf. Also, I can enjoy through Debian the greatest variety of Debian packages, and, until recently, Debian etch also meant quality.
To set the things straight, I shall describe briefly the hardware my system runs on and the former distros I tried.
Aside of this particular drawback, the hardware is running smoothly. 2 years ago however, not every distribution out there was compatible with my laptop.
