Coming full circle

So...CentOS didn't last long.  About a week.  The problem was that there just weren't that many packages available.  I wanted to run a tracker, but there were no trackers available in the CentOS repositories.  I found that one of them would run in Wine, so I went to install that, and it wasn't in the CentOS repositories either.  I rarely use Wine, but when I realized it wasn't available that's probably when I started thinking I'd chosen the wrong distro.  So...I'm back to Fedora.  And the same fix I used to get wireless working in CentOS worked in Fedora, so no need for ndiswrapper and the frustration of having to reconfigure everything after every kernel upgrade, which is what drove me from Fedora in the first place.

Centos

So yesterday I made the abrupt decision to make the jump from Kubuntu to Centos.  My linux experience actually started with Fedora five years ago, but eventually I abandoned it because everytime the system updated stuff broke.  Specifically the wireless.  This time things weren't quite so bad, thanks to instructions that I found on this page.
