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.

No one's mentioned it, so - I'm a big fan of Ubuntu these days. All the benefits of Debian, plus a neater, friendlier desktop, and regular release dates (six months clockwork instead of random intervals that can stretch to years.)

I presently use Ubuntu on my desktop at work and Debian where I install a server, but the (very clueful) lads at work are talking about moving to Ubuntu for servers as well.
