(That and I'm just tired of Windows bullshit). I used RedHat for a short while (couldn't tell you what version. 3? 4?). So what's RHEL mean? What makes Cent/Fedora different? Keep in mind I am not super into kernal hacking or doing weird shit. I can build source if I have a walkthrough/INSTALL file on hand, but I'm not a genious guy.ãã > PuTTY and XMink are, in my experience, your best solution.

Seems really sluggish, but maybe I have something setup incorrectly?ãã-A.ãã--ãAndroid8675@ShodansCoreãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Shodan's Core @ ShodansCore.comã

Fedora also has a much more rapid release cycle, reflecting itsãpurpose for trying out updates.ããã...

Fedora server gets updates and new kernels all the time, which can be obnoxious. CentOS/RHEL have a longer release cycle and don't receive as many updates. I was having issues with my Plex server and Virtualbox with CentOS/RHEL when 8 was released initially. I switched to Fedora and it works fine.

IIRC, Fedora is like Ubuntu is such that it gets more frequent updates
from upstream sources. CentOS 8 has a "Stream" version which is
basically, from what I can tell, their version of Fedora.

Was just playing with vcxsrv the other day for gui from wsl2, still need
to figure out pulseaudio though... then a script to get those and linux
gui apps better integrated.
