Fedora Helper

If for some reason you have to use Fedora Core instead of a less braindead distribution (i.e. anything, as far as I can make out), particularly as a desktop, then you will undoubtedly find the following link extremely frustration-relieving:

Edit: go on then, while I've broached the subject here in my ventings, let's hear your recommendations for Linux distros (preferably with a why, but blind zealotry is also welcome) :) I've been a Debian fan for several years now, but I'm currently contemplating an exploratory mission into Gentoo territory.

The reason I'm using Fedora is that our work servers are Centos (I always wondered who used that, now I know), so we run Fedora on our desktops to give us something vaguely resembling a similar environment.

I like Slackware, because I grow more of a hatred for overautomation as I get older. I don't like precompiled binaries as a rule, and I don't use a proprietary packaging system on my own machine.
There's maybe no rational reason for that, it's just there.

Gentoo's emerge, however, is sleek and pretty and useful. But then I don't think you can use "Gentoo" and "overautomation" in the same sentence ;)
