I’ll post my complete thoughts a little later tonight, but I just had to get that off my chest.

BTW, it’s a NASCAR thing….

In the spirit of Malibu’s Most Wanted, I’m to now be known as ‘C-Had’.

No, not really, but my wife called me that this morning and it really caught me off gaurd and was pretty funny.

All this because we watched that movie last night. Overall it was a pretty annoying movie, but did have some pretty funny scenes.

Also saw Anger Management. That movie was funnier than I expected to be. Jack Nicholson was really ‘on’ in this movie.

Woot!! Here’s the announcement

Changelog

For the record it is now known as Fedora Core, this is beta 2, codenamed Severn.

I got it downloaded and installed without issue, but that’s where the smooth ride came to a screeching halt. I’m not going to get too in depth right now as I’m extremely tired, but I want to say this feels more like an alpha release. Very unstable for me. 5 crashes in under a half hour of testing.

However, through all the hard reboots, I was able to get my screenshots uploaded. Click the one below to be taken to the gallery.

Update: It appears that I’m not alone in my feelings towards this release. The general initial responses seem to be pretty negative. Many saying that the first beta was more stable.

Well, I already got the latest Severn downloaded on a computer at home thanks to a nice fast mirror. Here it is if wanna give it a try. I averaged over 300/kbs for all three disks.

Otherwise you cold try the bittorrent method. Some folks on the fedora-test list are reporting fast speeds with that. More info on that can be found here: http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/

Get it from your favorite mirror.

Just read that Gordon Jump has died at the age of 71.

Would you say he was more famous from his role as the Maytag repair man or from his role on WKRP in Cincinnati?
