FC1 -> FC2 Update: DISASTER!!!

[Dan Thurman]

Hi Jonathan,

I would have expected that SOMEWHERE that GNOME or respective
upgrades programs should have taken care of installation issues
like this so that less geek people can continue their business
without grief. Do we ALL have to become linux experts to fix things
that otherwise could be taken care of?  I don't have TIME to read the
RTFM's to get a CLUE where I should start when things go wrong.

I would *expect* linux to be a *PROFESSIONALLY* built product with
performance tuning, sound configured *automatically*, etc., etc.,
but hey... someone has to get paid to support the otherwise lack of
professionalism? Don't get me wrong.  This is my wish list. If Linux
is ever going to replace M$ as the desktop, then professionalism should
be expected and required. That is why M$ wins hands down (never mind
the other well-known secret OS hooks, secret snooping, or vaporware
program promises or other "sins" M$ did and perhaps continues to do.)

Just my humble opinion.

~Dan
