Re: [orca-list] What distribution?

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

If they allow you to do multiple simultaneous installations then,
absolutely, it's quite handy.  I'll look into it once I am more familiar
with Fedora and how it works.  I like having the recent version of Gnome all
nice and decked out and at my fingertips.  I have Gnome here at work on a
Debian server which doubles as a workstation from time to time.  It's 3.4
and not 3.8 and I already miss the message tray and all the nice hotkeys you
get in 3.8 which you don't get in the earlier versions.  Oh, well, that's
life.  Wouldn't dream of trading it in for Fedora right now because I don't
use the GUI all that often on this thing.  It's mostly CLI work and Speakup
is the better tool for that sort of thing, I think.  Besides, Fedora also
came with all the stuff that doesn't work like Evolution and the stuff that
doesn't work all that great like Empathy.

Thanks.

Alex, I'm glad to see that my Fedora 19 experience was not unique.  Once you
get past the installer and first-use welcome thing, GNOME is GNOME. 
  For a single installation, I don't see the need for kickstart files,
though I can understand their utility for installing on a bunch of machines;
e. g. setting up a school "computer lab".
