Default Fedora 9 - an OS that even the Linux challenged can love

Hi,

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/12/fedora_9/

"The ninth release of Fedora ushers in a number of changes aimed at
making the venerable distribution a more newbie-friendly desktop, but
longtime users needn't fear a great dumbing down; version 9 packs plenty
of power user punch as well"


Digg It:

Crazy, what does this para mean?

"And if your friend wants a copy of Fedora, no problem. Just
install Fedora on a USB stick with sufficient space and any
existing files on the disk will be left intact. For the low, low
price of $99.95 in installation fees, of course."

Even if you include the cost of the USB media ... it still doesn't make
sense or a good joke.

You did realize this is Register that we are talking about. Right? Right?

Actually, the $99.95 is a direct quote. KIDDING! This is all The
Register's joke. :-)
