I needed to do some actual work with my computer, and needed a computer up and running. I also needed to print out a bunch of documents. My old crappy CRT had some sync issues with Fedora 9 after install, my laptop test machines were running openSUSE, where I didn't know how to setup my printer properly... so I wiped and installed Fedora 8, and got it done.
Too bad Firefox 3 isn't available on Fedora 8 from any "official" source. I guess there's the remi repo, but I assume there's reasons it isn't in the base repo for Fedora 8... might be time to try Fedora 9 again, because FF3 is about five times as awesome as 2. One thing I did notice on goin back to 8 was that I had forgotten how to get CCSM working on Fedora 8. I thought I needed to add something to my session so that it would run on startup, and my Google-fu failed miserably on finding that. Turns out Foxmarks has old copies of my bookmarks stored... scary... but useful in this case... I had a bookmark once to the blog post and the bug that gave me in the information, but I had deleted it.
I haven't been home on my PC to enable it again, but I'll probably beat on my computer some more to try and get Fedora 9 behaving properly. We'll see. I checked for the openSUSE release this morning before work, hoping to let the torrent ride out while I was away for the day, but no dice. Oh well. I'll probably go back to Fedora anyway, since my printer works by simply plugging it in, which is awesome.
