just a noob question: better yellow dog or fedora?

Cool! Does it automatic update to 5.0.1 or do I have to manual the install yum update from Gnome terminal command? I might stay at 5.0.0 because what if $ony blocks the dd or UDF command for existing ydl users for those who updated to 5.0.1.

You could always reinstall to YDL 5.0.0

Ohh sweet! Now I'm gonna update to 5.0.1 very soon! Is there a black boarder on your TV? Does it automatic boot to the correct resolution instead of hanging at 1080p on to your 480i tv? Does it support sound+video to any media player? So please keep me update of what 5.0.0 don't have and what is new on 5.0.1. Thanks elitegamerdav!
