The GNOME meet up in Cambridge last week was fun. Thanks to everyone who came (including the debian gate crashers!). It also finally pushed me into installing Linux on my (ppc) iBook.
Since Fedora Core 5 had just been released, I downloaded the DVD iso and burnt it before the trip. Installation seemed to be OK, and I even managed to get the AirportExtreme card to work after some persuasion. Still seem to have some issues with suspend though, and occasionally it doesn’t get through bootup.
I did notice that Fedora seems to have shipped the 2.7 development branch of gtk-engines, which is slightly annoying since my decision that it wasn’t yet ready for production (hence there hasn’t been a 2.8 stable release yet!). They seemed to have patched it a fair amount though, so I look forward to some bugzilla activity soon…
Bleah… Ubuntu runs way better than Fedora on PPC, in my experience.
