Grr... out of Fedora soon (again!)
When I recently said that Fedora (either 7 or 8 ) is on my short list of distros to convert my home systems to for the next 12 months, I was forgetting some of the issues I had (or still have!) with Fedora 7.
I damn want stability and reliability, I don't need a Linux as bad as Vista, and I don't need a system that can break (1) at random, after an update; (2) six months later, when I install (or upgrade to) the next release.
Now, what happened with F7 on my new Acer laptop?
* After some kernel update (not the latest one), the hibernation stopped to be reliable: it suspends to disk, but it fails to wake up from the disk image. Suspend-to-RAM doesn't wake up at all, it freezes the system at wake-up time!
* A supplementary issue after that update is a stupid bug I encountered in Ubuntu as #66637: the swap space is discarded. OK, I can mkswap and swapon, no problemo.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
