Fedora V 10

Well i must be a sucker for punishment. Next I decided to have a go at the Linux distro - Fedora V.10 . I made myself a live cd and then installed from the live cd. After running all the updates I started playing with it. Interestingly it had the latest version of Open Office. Version 3.0 I think. However, it did not have adobe flash installed or downloadable from the packet manager. I could not get WINE to work either. Also I just could not get the machine to link up with my windows network and HP printer. I have to be honest, I did not spend a lot of time trying to get it to work. I could also have downloaded Adobe Flash from the website and installed it from the terminal. However, the whole purpose of the excercise is to see how easy it is to use the distro "straight out of the box". After all this is what will be of interest to people who migrate from Windows.
So I decided to go back and try Ubuntu's lates distro - Intrepid Ibex.
