SuSE 10.3 was a disaster (tried it yesterday). The latest Fedora failed in configuring X on my laptop. I seem to be having bad luck with RPM distros of late: Too bad, because it had a lot going for it. These are all annoyances that make me not want to use Mandriva. It’s also manually configurable, but all my attempts in doing so have failed. Not a biggie, but you can’t run ppracer, or tuxkart, or other similar games, without it. Upon logging into KDE, it went into a “Starting Services” screen, until I hit the enter button, and then the KDE desktop came back.Ĥ. This might have to do with the Cooker repos Adam mentioned, but it was a huge annoyance nonetheless.ģ. However, when I selected a huge number of packages (lot’s of Java stuff, and games, and such), it kept say “such and such package has a bad signature, do you want to install anyway?” This meant I had to keep hitting “Yes”, over and over again. But it’s a huge annoyance, which has not happened to me with any other distro.Ģ. Yes, can still disable numlock manually with my laptop keyboard. But then I still had the problem when providing the root password (for apps that require it, like MCC). OK, fine, I turned off the stupid daemon, and turned off the toggle in KDE control center. Also in Mandriva, in the KDE control center, under peripherals, keyboard, the numlock toggle is on by default. Mandriva even has a numlock daemon to make sure numlock is on. However, there are some annoying “gotchas”.ġ.
