Fedora 8 quick review
November 30th, 2007
I installed Fedora 8 via the dvd.iso on my X2, nvidia box. Works very well as a 64bit desktop. It has a few gotchas (detailed below) but I would rate it 9/10. It is an excellent desktop.
Gotchas:
/etc/updatedb.conf needs /sys added to PRUNEPATHS. Otherwise updatedb won’t work.
Added javaicedtea-plugin to the /usr/lib64/firefox-1.0.0.x/plugin directories.
Added gnash for flash support.
Added livna repo for nvidia support/
