Playing with Fedora 8 on the new Dell at work… Pretty nice. I feel like I jumped from Windows 95 straight to XP. It’s fast. Firefox popped up in 3 seconds. Even turned on wobbly windows for the hell of it. The main system menu and the various app menus still aren’t organized worth crap, though.
OK, why the hell can’t I find a Windows text editor with a “Filter Selection Through Command” option? TextMate has it. Even freaking KDevelop has it. Ctrl-A, Shift-space, “sort”, Enter, and my document’s sorted. (The Ctrl-space is a custom setting.) And piping it through Ruby only takes a fraction of a second.
Oh, I could very readily become a Linux user for that alone. But the experience outside my editor might drive me mad. Wonder if TextMate would be as fast as KDevelop?
Heh, 8 days till I’m outdated again - that’s when Fedora 9 is released.
