FC Revisited

I had the opportunity to revisit FC (not sure which version - 6 probably, there seems to be no easy way to find out - like a right click on My Computer in Windows) after spending a long time on PC Linux.
Some of the most glaring deficiencies in comparison were :
1. The Gnome interface with the two taskbar layout.
1. Absolute lack of partition tools even for the root user. I did not find a tool to check the partitions, I did not find a way to access the other partitions on the drive, they were not automounted as an alternative. The Gparted and qtparted commands were not identified as well.
2. The terminal would be expected to be easy to access. But, it does not exist in the system menu or the system tools menu, as would be expected. A look at all menus revealed it under the Accessories menu.
3. The mouse acceleration applet is better in KDE since it allows digital control rather than the anologous slide bar in Gnome.
4. Openoffice was missing.
5. Media playing support is rudimentary. As is popular in Linux, the naming is designed to make forgetting easy . Kaboodle would seem to be the mp3 player of choice, but it cannot handle playlist files like m3u. Double click an m3u file and another forgetful application Noatun is launched. In both cases I missed an equaliser. I am not sure if there was a video player at all.
It is irritating to figure out what an application does without a proper name. The only way one can conclude the use of an app is to look at its position in the menu. This logic makes it impossible to coax users to try out apps classified under Accessories. Naming is lazy and immature.

Overall, what this has shown is that reputation is NOT indicative of intelligence, at least with regard to distro creation.
