Recently I upgraded to Fedora Core 5. Some things I like, some I don't, but that's usual when you have an OS upgrade (or replacement). This time around, there seems to be a few more problems. First problem was with yum and updates. pup (software updater) wouldn't run. Solution to that was in the FAQ - a replacement yum.conf file. Yum Extender did work, but there was a fair bit of guessing as to which repositories to use (I'm not a Linux expert!). Following software updates I did on Wednesday, cups refused to start (cups was among the updates). Remote assistance from a family member (he likes puzzles!) gave me a work around - involved changing ownership of files and changes to cupsd.conf, and then running cupsd in foreground. Adobe Reader no longer runs - but I haven't bothered to chase that one up as there are alternatives. Anyway, I'm not asking for assistance. Just want to know if anyone else has run into these problems. I couldn't find anything on the Net. Any comments? I'm tempted to try Ubuntu 6.06 in the near future. Michael
