Linux distributions and the Linux foundation have failed for years in creating a real cross-distribution way to install third party software, which en plus can be updated in a few steps. In 2006, a...

VDPAU support for other graphics drivers would be nice.. with radeonhd my 1080p videos do not run smoothly, with windows they do.

what i find pretty interesting is that fedora has not yet announced to switch to grub2. so i guess that there must be some rationale for them not to switch, which ubuntu did not consider.

whats up with randr?

sorry but where is the UI love? the volume slider is horizontally aligned now, the button in that dialog looks weird and the balance-chooser...

I mean, there is no unified way of installing third party software on Linux and most graphics drivers are crap. Why'd Valve port Steam to Linux?

What I also find amusing is that when I play a...

Well in Transifex, you put your git (example) repositorie's name in and changes done via the web interface are being commited there.

The common string feature is definitely good, but still I do...

so every upstream has to ask them to disable translations instead of them waiting for devs to ask to enable it?

did you have a look at http://transifex.org/? it is much better than rosetta imo,...

when will they stop having fear to change anything essential? the way they do it now gnome will look like the same in 10 years. granted that gtk3 is not the solution but what about changing to css...

a) harder for translators since strings won't be shared between projects as much

buhaha launchpad itself is the problem with translations.. upstreams to do not get translations back and missing...

I do not either.

I mean, Warcraft III Battle.Net does not work with current Wine versions. If they just skip it as a showstopper, then I do not know what the sense of the 1.0 stable version is....

The Fedora devs have tried to improve power savings a lot in recent days, and they ship a newer kernel than Ubuntu does. Why not compare it?

Michael, did you set Windows Vista to power saving mode? Did you have Aero switched on?

Thanks for the article anyway, but I'd be interested to know how Fedora 9 compares to Ubuntu 8.04 and Vista....

Sadly, the devs are not really listening to the users. There is some criticsm about a nautilus behavior since 2003, but no one stood up to do the partly trivial fix. Sadly I do not have programming...

Thanks for the review. I'd be curious to know if you tried the 2.6.23 kernel or 2.6.24 rc4 and if you experienced kernel crashes using it.
