I recall a time, quite a while back, when I had install discs for Fedora 4. I never had enough time and I simply did not want to take the risks of playing with my computer and risking formatting my PC. Besides there was so real significant advantage in installing such a product, as my Windows environment catered for all my purposes.
Time progressed and my interest in the Linux world continued, mainly as a hobby. I tried many different flavours of Linux, mainly the LIVECD distros. These distros offered a safe passage into the world of Linux for me. After trying a great many distros of LIVECD's, I was not satisfied with each one itself. One would have a feature that another would miss. So I gave up Linux... for a while...
Then came Fedora 7 LiveCD. It caught my eye, thanks to its hot-air balloon theme. I know that such a theme makes no difference into the quality of the product, but something told me that if a product is so true to release a main theme, it must have quite a following. Needless to say I installed FC7 onto my desktop PC. The available programs and the simple to use tools really grabbed my attention as an alternative to Windows. Drivers were flawless, programs were useful and things could be produced (The whole purpose of a PC).
So, here I am, installed Fedora 8 onto my work laptop, and using it exclusively. Personally, FC8 is more refined than FC7, but that is how it should be, considering each update brings more reliable and functioning products. Keep up the great work to all the people in the Fedora/Linux community.
