Lets deposit the money at a trusted source and then let the winner claim the prize after release. I suggest we ask Rahul to be trusted with the money. If he would do it off course. Rahul?
Im ready to put my money where my mouth is. Are you ready to do the same?

Rahul: well, I'm usually the awkward bastard arguing for slips when everyone else wants to ship, so in that sense, it would have been in my interests to the tune of 100 euro to not be such an awkward bastard :P
I'm sure Michael will put a story up tomorrow, but we signed off on Alpha today, no more slips. It doesn't work in UEFI native mode on Macs, but otherwise it's pretty good.

Y'know what? I'm sure fedora 19 will be shipped with just minimal delays, 20 days or so, but I highly DOUBT that the broken pieces of shit like anaconda etc will be much improved...
If the alpha has been cleared where can I download it at?

stfu and gtfo. Stop making it seem like I hate fedora... I hated fedora 18, hence my jokes and reaction to fedora 19 schedule.
Was I serious about people compromising the project for 100 eur? NO
Was I serious about my statements about g3.8 and doubting fedora19 will be much improved from 18? yes, but now I will have to test and see and I will be the first one to admit being a dick if f19 proves to be good (or better than f18)
but it's hard to compare it to f17 since all alphas and betas run significantly slower since they were compiled with debug

getting really tired of your shit Horton.. who said I hate the distribution?
I hated that specific version = fedora 18... hated it, badly... since it fucked up my upgrade cycle and made me jump to a different distro.
is this what you are calling the 'beta'? :
Linux 3.9.2-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 12:36:24 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm running it righ now and yes... it's pretty good.
I can see why they are so eager to get it out asap and make people forget about the disaster that was f18.
buggine me: something in either this kernel's synaptic touchpad drivers or gnome 3.8... too sensitive, I can't use 2 finger scrolling since it always assumes a tap and I can't even use tap to click since it 60% assumes double tap.
But I can deal with that.
The minimize window button that I saw in some screenshots of gnome 3.8 is nowhere to be seen, neither there's an option to turn it on...
I can deal with that.
with some extensions and proper theme there's hope still for gnome 3.8
let me see memory:
gnome shell 225 mb mem
+ gnome settings 7mb +gnome session 6mb +calendar+ keyring blabla bla
gnome 3.8 < 300 mb mem
not bad... seems like they didn't deserve all the hate I had towards them, if only they would stop breaking my FKN THEMES
questions:
grep "SNA init" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
????????
WHY ARENT U USING SNA?? WHY?
I suppose the vaapi intel package is nowehere to be found neither
wtf
anyways moving on
is it at all possible to setup a password for live system user? (even if I have to do it everytime) I did that with f18 beta and it fucked up the persistence and the usb key so I won't try it unless someone else does.
firewall
for only outgoing connections firewalld should be set at
~]$ firewall-cmd --get-active-zones
block: wlp3s0
what's the diff between block and drop?
why do you have to set the default zone to the one you want and then reload ? it should be more dynamic only requiring you to click once
overall = quite impressed
if this is any indication of final release quality seems like I will be returning to fedora ... glad I didn't bet 100 eurLast edited by Pallidus; 24 May 2013, 02:19 PM.

thanks for the answers and the good work you're doing in fedora.
I don't run web servers ftp or remote desktop plus I got pwned in windows so now I only allow outgoing connections.
If I set firewalld to 'drop' I can't use firefox but if I set it to 'block' everything works
I do wish for something more in the lines of gufw where you can set it up it exactly the way you like it with specific ports and programs.
SNA easily doubles your performance, you can check people's gtkperf benchmarks http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/inde...t-2103579.html
I do wish those guys weren't so conservative, no issues in gen4 or 5.
Only bad thing I can think of is that memory management in the live session still hasn't been looked at or fixed, after a few hours of using live session mostly browsing html5 videos on youtube and doing this and that I still kill firefox and then the whole system crashes.
but I guess no one designs live sessions for intensive use.
looking forward to the final release so I can install this
