I attempted to upgrade from Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4 and that just totally blew up in my face. The FC4 upgrade broke my desktop, my soundcard, and did something to make my laptop run like it’s wallowing in molasses.

I then decided that since this is Linux this provided a perfect opportunity to try a new distro. So, I tried SuSe personal which was bust. I should have remembered that because it was on a single CD that it doesn’t come with the gcc compiler (and other assorted development tools that I need to get my wlan card up).

Finally…I’m downloading Mandriva/Mandrake as we speak. It’s 3 CDs and I’ve confirmed that it comes with gcc. I’ll let you know how that goes.

One of these nights I’ll have a working laptop again to do my podcast on :)
