Yup ... I just installed it ... it looks pretty cool :D

Problems so far:

1) flashplayer won't work
2) yum is a bit screwed at the moment ... if you want to update goto Applications -> System Tools -> Software Updater (or in console run /usr/bin/pup as root) and keep clicking the install updates button until they install (it will give you plenty of errors but it WILL install :)) or you can just keep typing yum update in the console until it works.
3) my self-installing archive script doesn't work (maybe environmental variables are screwed ? :()

You can fix flashplayer by switching SELinux to permissive ... I'm not sure exactly which service is causing the problem, but that's how to fix it.

What's with the talking to yourself - it's the first sign of madness you know. :D

Meh, I'm satisfied with eCS... Fedora is pretty good, though...

Do you mean eComStation?  Wow, someone is actually using that!

That's cool, I figure you can't kill OS/2 that easily. :D

Since I installed the damn thing I wanted to report any serious hampering bugs ... besides the known kernel BIOS bug. It seems SELinux was causing most of the problems ... too restrictive. It works ok now :D

You FOOL!

...it's not madness until you start answering yourself, and subsequently start taking your own advice.

You'd be surprised how many users of OS/2 there still are. It's probably one of the most stable OSes I've used with one of the widest ranges of compatibility(Win16, partial Win32 - full with ODIN, REXX, Java and previous OS/2 apps). Best of all, unlike X it won't eat up a 20 Gig HD, and unlike Vista will, can run on a P III 866 Mhz with 128 MB memory.

I have reverted to FC 4 ... I really can't live without the nVidia kernel module ... seriously, even low quality movies shoot the processor usage to 100 % without the better nVidia driver. Is it such a big deal for nVidia to release the fucking drivers under GPL !?! Fuck !
