Fedora 11: you might as well quit guys

I thought I’d give Fedora 11 a spin, cos they’ve made some changes to power management, and my battery has been screwy since Ubuntu Feisty.

But what a mistake!

I don’t expect any distro to recognise all my hardware, nor do I expect any to be exactly tailored to my tastes.

But I do expect every distro to at least:

  • have installation docs that were not out of date two releases ago
  • get the time right when pointed to an NTP server
  • recognise my PS/2 trackpad
  • not clobber the contents of /boot
  • warn me before installing a non-backwards-compatible upgrade to Grub

It’ll be a very long time before I try Fedora again. :-(
