I've just tried Fedora, looks and seems to run ok so far. However I'm having a 
problem with installing/removing programs using their install program under 
the system settings menu. When I'm trying to install the odd program or two, 
it asks for cd2, I insert it in the cdrom drive, click ok and thats as far as 
it goes. Keep clicking ok but nothing happens. Tried it with the dvd drive, 
same result. I installed apt/synaptic, this works ok apart from different 
versions of files here and there which stops adding some files because of 
dependancy issues, not unlike in debian when you change from stable to 
testing.
