Guys, i have been on PCQ forum for almost a year after which I left
due to disagreements with a certain member and the pathetic
administration of their forum but I would like to tell you all that
the people over there have only good intentions. They are good
supporters of Linux and OSS. I do agree that since PCQLinux 2004 they
have been screwing up their distribution. It is important to remember
here that PCQuest is a magazine and not a software development
company. They have been making this distro for first time users. It's
not upto the mark but you shouldn't go around criticizing it if you
have just tried it on one system.
Speaking of how good FC4 was, well they did release it with a broken
kernel which didn't boot on most Intel systems. They also did release
it with flaws in Xorg which prevents people from entering into any
virtual terminal once X server has started.
Some of Rony's comments have gotten me thinking. Vinod Unny who leads
( not sure ) the PCQLinux team is a HUGE supporter of M$. He is some
regional manager of M$ I think. We did have flame wars over IE6 vs
Firefox and IIS vs Apache. In both of those he went beserk and
supported Windoze and actually tried to justify some of their
"features" and how secure IE6 really was as compared to Firefox :\
