Re: Fedora!
Ok I have Fedora 12 working in Virtualbox now. What is fantastic about it - what should I try out first?
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

To tell you the truth, I don't know. It just calls to me (and it may be because I'm a hometown fan of Red Hat..lol)

Re: Fedora!
As you can see that didn't work. It just fubared the desktop
. It probably is difficult for any distro in Virtualbox, to be fair. Any other suggestions?Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.

Re: Fedora!
Amarok1! 
Think I'm gonna upgrade to Rawhide - am getting a bit bored, and have the itch for testing again. I'm going to wait 'til Arch is running again first though, that way if Fedora crashes, I still have a stable distro to fall back on. Used to do that with Cooker, too.
And wowow, boss, it seems that updating via yum is a LOT more efficient than the GUI. The GUI only showed the main six packages to update; it didn't mention the other ones:
And, it appears that I've successfully copied/pasted a bunch of code into here - howcome it wouldn't do that when I was needing to discuss a p-y-c-u-r-l error? Ah, there's the word it doesn't like. I just found it. Got the error when I didn't put in the dashes, so there you go. 
FYI: I can't get nvidia to work with anything higher than the .112 kernel, and everything's installed for the other kernels, or, at least, that's how it appears to me.
Pastebin here - the forum doesn't like the code.
Oh, and dude! If I'm gonna look at something, make the vid big enough for me to see what y'er typing. Can't help with it unless I know what's going on...
Edit: To your credit, I just tried gnome-shell on F13, and it never loaded. It partially loaded, but never did. Had I been able to wait forever, it may have. I have a vid as well up and coming of the epic fail, but it may be tomorrow. For now, I need sleep. Need to feel better.
Have a good one.

Re: Fedora!
Wow. Everyone's leaving me this week! But you do need a bit of a break I guess, and that does look like a nice place to go. Have a friend off visiting their mum & dad this week as well.
No worries, will hold down the fort for ya. Have a great time!

Once a week, thereabouts. Sometimes in-between. This was in-between.

Re: Fedora!
When I was running it, I checked it once a day.
