Yeah, I've tried Fedora Core 4. I had installed it on an old Gateway I have and was using it for a couple weeks. Well, I say "using" it but I don't know anything about it and to be honest, I don't have the patience to learn a whole new operating system. Plus, I couldn't get it to interact with my other two XP pc's on my network. Granted, it was free, the pc was free and I had read an article in one of my pc magazines about experimenting with Linux on an old pc, which is what made me do it.
I gave up on it, I'm too used to my Windows XP. I would turn the Linux pc on and it would boot up and all and then I would think, "what now?". About all I did with it was browse the net, I can do that on my XP pc's.
I just need to learn about it....maybe I'll work up the gumption someday and learn.
