F10 rocks

[weitjong]

First 24 hr after upgraded my F9 desktop to F10. I am using x86_64 version. So far things that have works before in my F9 still works in F10, such as:

1. sounds (I wonder why there are many noise in forum complaining about the sound in F10. I guess I am just lucky).
2. network (both wired and broadband-on-mobile using Huawei E169).
3. Flash.
4. mplayer, realplayer, vlc, xine, tvtime, etc.
5. compiz fusion with dual LCD in twinview mode. (glxgears >9400 FPS)

Additionally, for the very first time (and this is the reason why I create this new post) the Java IcedTea web browser plugin works out of the box in FF 64-bit. (No more double booting to 32-bit Ubuntu or running Windoze image in kqemu for online banking ).

I also like the plymouth eye candy, although I have to add 'vga=0x318' as my nvidia card is not supported yet.

The only complain I have is the SEtroubleshooter keeps popping out.

Iced Tea is a very very good thing as Sun is getting very very suspect on their activities. Their upgrade program under windows spawns a jqs.exe program that does nothing but spam your network with all kinds of various stupid signals that appear to do nothing but profile your computer for open ip addresses. Hopefully iced tea will get ported to windows
and sun will go bankrupt. These modern business models of breaking into everybodys computer on the planet to advertise to pay for all the computers needed to break into everybodys computer on the planet and advertise just is not cutting it with me. It's unjustified in it's self justification.

weitjong, can you provide your hardware's configuration?

Two years ago I made a similar comment on how rock solid the FC5 was before I upgrading it to FC6 and got the same question. See http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...156#post629156. And now, the history repeat itself again.

My hardware setup remains the same until today. It did cost me an arm and a leg then. But it is the money well spend as I am still enjoying my investment today although the spec is a bit out dated by today standard. Attached is some info of my system if you are still interested.

Wow...very true..Thanks anyway..

F10 rocks indeed. But for some reason Xine for me has not survived the upgrade. I tried to reinstall but it won't come to life. I'll guess VLC does the same trick.

Actually I use mplayer (and gmplayer) more often than xine or vlc. For xine, I have to use it with ALSA and not with pulseaudio.

I agree, Fedora 10 does rock. Been using it for four days solid now, and I am a power user, multi-tasked it to death, rebooted a bunch of times, even turned it off a few times with the power switch....I just cannot kill it. The only thing that refused to work is Synaptic. It asks for the root password, but will not launch. Is this a bug?
Fedora 10 is fast and stable, much better than Fedora 9, which kept on losing my internet connection every time I booted up, and kept on freezing up, reminds me of FC7. Looks like the Fedora people did their homework this time...this distro does rock!
