As i write this I am currently downloading a torrent for Fedora 10 x86_64 DVD. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of KDE4, but they’re taking a fricking long time to release and every couple of months I create a new partition to install Lenny to and install KDE4, to see if they finally got most of the bugs fixed, and every time leave disappointed. So in order to break into a new change of pace I have decided to learn another side of Linux. I am going to go to the dark side and learn Red Hat Fedora ( Hopefully this time i wont quit like last time, last time i installed Fedora, updated and all of a sudden the update feature stopped wanting to work, talking about a “;” or something i don’t remember). Also since I’ve wanted to reinstall my Debian Lenny partition I am going to reinstall it too and begin anew, I have already backed up all my important information and settings to a FAT32 partition i use to keep music, videos, and .doc files.

Another reason i want to install Fedora is that, even though i really want KDE4, i’ve never used KDE. Sure i’ve played around with it a couple of times but I’ve never really learnt it, i just used gnome because it was the default on most distro’s I’ve used and it’s simple. But i know me, and i know that I love to have personalization, and KDE supposedly should give me that. I’m not going to abandon Lenny yet though, it has been good to me and so far it is the best distro I’ve met, but i know it has its setbacks, Lenny will just be on another partition, ready to access if i ever remove Fedora or dislike KDE.

I will also hopefully post a review on the differences i’ve found for Fedora and Debian sometime soon
