I have toyed with various Linux distributions over the course of the last few years. Ever since I got broadband really, as with many others I would assume. Mainly, I have played with the more mainstream ones like RedHat, Fedora, Knoppix, Ubuntu, Mandrake (haven't tried it since it has become Mandriva), and a few other random ones. The only ones I have used extensively are Fedora and Ubuntu, moreso Ubuntu. But I have ran into a few holes in it that neither I, nor Google, nor the Ubuntu forums can resolve. I even updated to the Breezy development version, and that has really turned me off to Ubuntu for a few reasons.
At last, I want to try something new. I was thinking of Fedora Core 4 as I liked previous versions, just hated RPM Hell. Now I hear that yum has been drastically improved to compete with apt. Is this true, worth another download and try? Or is there another, even more obscure, version of Linux I should give the next run through?
Note that I prefer Gnome much more than KDE. I would like it to have good support for audio/video/TV tuning applications and drivers. I want something that will work well to start with, but can be tweaked later as I learn more.
Thanks in advance for the help!
