Comments on The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 14 i686 (GNOME)

The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 14 i686 (GNOME) This tutorial shows how you can set up a Fedora 14 desktop (GNOME) that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

Amarok, in particular, uses 100% of my cpu; Exaile in contrast is far less demanding. Xmms isn't even being developed any more, is it? Xmms2 is CLI (though Promoe would be a nice GUI frontend for Xmms2, if it were stable).

If you have an older system, Xubuntu is probably a better choice than Fedora/Gnome.

Hello, I have just installed F14 on my system, and cannot seem to add the rpmfusion repository due to an apparent 404 error? This is what I have tried:

<code>

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
