Linux Action Show RIPPED apart fedora 15... heh, you may want to check it out first, perhaps sorta respond to their points directly or indirectly... cause right now my only impression of fedora 15 is from them.

@whatnameisavailablee I've been covering Fedora since the Alpha came out, I just haven't had a moment to make a video about the final product yet.

Advice, TALK SLOWER

I just got Readplease, a super powerful Windows XP text to speech program, to work in Linux Mint 11 after installing the program WINE. Next I downloaded Readplease and ran the file through WINE. It installed a Readplease icon on my desktop. I dragged and dropped it onto the task bar and it launches Readplease with a single click. After experimenting I discovered if you paste and copy your data into LiberOffice Writer first that Readplease reads it perfectly.

Don't like Fedora 15 at all compared to Ubuntu or Linux MInt.

been checking out Unity recently, it's actually not that bad, not saying I'm totally sold on it but found it easier than gnome 3 which kinda looks cool but feels a bit cumbersome when you're actually using it think you need to know the keyboard shortcuts for it to work well. Unity doesn't really seem to add anything for me but it's usable and looks ok.

@whatnameisavailablee I think that they should be more careful when they say those things... They speak like Fedora was a really crappy experience for everyone's PC's. In my case fedora works a lot better than Ubuntu for instance since I have the nouveau 3d driver fully functional I can plug in multiple monitor without restarting X, brightness keys work (not in Ubuntu here), my touchpad doesn't make X to hang (it happens sometimes with Ubuntu) and so on.
