With Gnome 3.10. Nice. Even nicer with the Phosphene theme: http://hdni.github.io/rice/assets/phosphene_preview.png - https://github.com/hdni/Phosphene
While on the topic, does any one have a good strategy for building the gstreamer-bad/ugly plugins on Fedora? I don't like the rpmfusion repository as it always seems to mess up the system sooner or later.
"Syslog removed from default installation" and "Users accustomed to checking /var/log/messages for system logs should instead use journalctl." I'm sure I'm going to forget about that... I can't wait for the first WTF :)
It's quite an audacious release note. As if millions of users are suddenly going to forget about cat, head, tail, more, less, grep, awk, sed, fmt, etc. etc. that are only still useful if you learn how to journalctl and convert those binary logs back into plain text. I'd like to install Fedora 20 and use it as my main desktop, but both systemd and journald will somehow have to be avoided and worked around because I do…

You can do "yum install rsyslog". However I agree that it shouldn't have been removed.

I don't usually have the need to check syslog in my desktop, unless I'm doing development, and in that case I will install syslog-ng (and systemctl enable syslog-ng). Not a big deal. As for servers, I wouldn't use Fedora. Each release is supported for only 13 months and upgrades are not as seamless as in Debian. So for me Fedora is a very decent desktop if you want the new shinies with ease of use. Most of the time w…
That's what RedHat (or CentOS) is for...

That's nice, but can you "yum install upstart"?
Also note, this is the first Distro (that I know of) that is resolution-independent out of the box -- thanks to Gnome 3.10. Retina and retina-like users rejoice!

You mean the unity stuff? I installed the KDE Desktop package and it's great and works great =)

$ grep shiz /var/log/messages
grep: /var/log/messages: No such file or directory
$ ls /var/log
README dnf.log wtmp Xorg.log.0 ...
$ head /var/log/README
You are looking for the traditional text log files in /var/log, and
they are gone?
Here's an explanation on what's going on:
