I have been running Fedora 14 since it came out and have never

and don't do anything really stupid with my systems. I have to say 14
was and is the best Fedora they ever came out with.
Been using since it was Red Hat Linux 6, if I recall correctly. Though
I never tried 14, I skipped several releases after Fedora 9.
I can't say I've ever encountered an externally caused problems. I've
had crashes related to video, that have usually gone away with updates,
thanks to having to put with /some/ NVidia or ATI cards.
Basically every time I run an update, on anything, something goes
wrong.
Can't say I've had that.
I was great at IBM as a quality control person because nothing ever
got past me!
I work in video production, and one of the local equipment suppliers
used to use me as their "fussy customer" litmus test. If I didn't pick
something out as a problem, they were pretty sure that nobody else
would.
Can you point me to where one of these other terminals is? The only
reason I can still use one or make more is because there were some
already opened before I ran the update.
Often, one can type "term" in a command line, and get a basic term,
instead of gnome-term, or mate-term, or the command name for some other
terminal type. I don't seem to be able to do that at the moment, but I
have in the past. Perhaps my MATE install on Fedora 20 didn't bother
installing extra ones. Might be worth doing so, for future problem
solving.
