[Ambassadors] What Fedora makes sucking for me - or why I am NOT Fedora

I completely agree with Robert in Live CD. I don't know what is the
requirement of the Live CD but it doesn't moves forwards after freezing in
the login though my RAM is 512MB,64MB Video Memory,1.6Ghz Pentium IV Comp,
which i think meets the requirement for the Live CD. All other distros like
Ubuntu, Opensuse,mandriva's live cd runs well in my comp but it's sad for
Fedora. And talk about fedora 10, the graphical installation didn't started
at all, text mode installation work after i rebooted my comp same freezing
has also occurs to the X. I don't know what to do. I filled a bugzilla.They
asked some xconf file and logs and now i don't know what will happen to that
bug And my comp doesn't run fedora10.

Though, i love fedora and will be using it. There are many things Fedora
Needs to improve in the upcomming versions...
