Hi,

  This is purely a vanity post... I have been dual
booting Fedora Core and Windows on my laptop for the
last year; after trying several distros before
choosing FC. 

  (I just wish I could get FC5 on my desktop without
killing windows. Yes, I still need windows. Don't ask)

  With FC5 and kernel 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5, FC runs this
HP zv5440 better than windows. Under windows, the
mousepad scroll doesn't work and OpenGL apps won't run
even though I have the latest drivers for the Geforce
440 Go.

  In FC5, everything I use works automagically. Even
the broadcom wireless. I don't use the modem so I
don't know about that. 

Have a nice weekend.

-j
