Well yesterday I was wondering if the new updated download for Chakra had been released. The answer was yes BUT my understanding was that 64 bit system are being supported with a 'screw you' attitude to 32bit users.
I think the idea and principles behind this distro is well intentioned I have had enough of things going wrong and spending my time fixing something that is broken for the wrong reason. I want a system that works but is under constant development because perfection is never gained with a computer system because of all the new stuff coming out. One day I WILL find the rolling distro to suit me although I can see me building one myself.
Hence my day yesterday being WASTED going through SIX distros.
The winner was my favourite.......Fedora KDE
XMBCunbuntu wasn't to bad but getting the sound system to working was a royal pain. Worked in the end and will be considered for the media centre I intend building when I get a round to it.
Kubuntu 12.04. This isn't bad but the thing crashed half way through re-doing the hard disk partitions.
Bodhi 2. whatever this one was so close but I couldn't redo the partitions on the hard drive which totally messed the installation up. Actually this one came second and was close to staying installed.
Ubuntu 12.04. Not bad but unity sucks but only on the grounds that it cann't be customized. Otherwise lots of new stuff and possibilities with this one. Also the official distro at work (although I prefer KDE).
KDEMint. again, potential...until the installer crashed. I might give this one ago again at some point but not for a while yet.
Fedora17. Yes, I know that its nearly time for F18 (with another stupid name). but I know I can relie on this distro. If its good enough for NASA then its good enough for me. Besides, it as always worked well for me. Apart from the sound, surround sound 5.1 doesn't seem to want to work. I will come back to this when I can.
Orosa I took one look at this and didn't like it, only because of its appearance.
So, I know have Fedora on both machines, this laptop works really well but the PC needs work to get it perfect (but see above comment), this will go on and on and on.......I wonder how I would get the rolling system I so desire?
