We have here 2 bugs who is not been seen as a
advantage for Fedora. Some users are angry, and Ubuntu
users love these problems to show that our distro has
bugs in the release too. The first one is 3 versions
old (yes, Fedora 6 problem):
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221336
Second, this is not a bug, is a decision made and
users who has Synaptic Touchpad are angry with that:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439386
Questions, this problems should be fixed, but when?
Cheers,
Rodrigo Menezes

I'm confused by the article's premise. The author
claims to be testing
on the basis of whether a "newbie" could install
Fedora, but he tests it
on a system that is completely unrelated to that use
case -- a
previously multi-boot system with what sounds like
several existing (or
previously existing) Linux distributions.
Some of the errors he encounters are certainly bugs,
and I've already
seen some of these reported in other places. An
example is the Anaconda
error loop, which the author reports but did not
file, although he filed
another bug, so bravo there.
I think something our QA folks (Will et al.) should
think about is a way
to expose more details about the test configurations
they use for
banging on the installer. These could be exposed to
the media for our
Alpha or Beta test release, as well as our larger
user base, to make
sure that people are expanding on those
configurations, rather than
duplicating them endlessly to the exclusion of
others.
