We are both sort of saying that, but we are expecting different kinds of support. I want documentation released so that my hardware will continue to be usable for a long time.

This requires 3D and acceleration in this day and age. I also want 3d accelleration to work and hope that Fedora can find more resources to speed up some of the 3d development going on here. > People going to "Joe's Computer Store" down the street will purchase > pretty modern hardware.

Ubuntu is currently (and for the foreseeable future) a better linux distro for people that just want things to work. (Graphics might get better soon, but media is going to have problems for a long time due to software patents and the DCMA.) P.S. I want to mention one issue for the proprietary nVidia drivers that hasn't come up in this thread yet. They don't work (at least when I last tried this with the rpmfusion packages) on live spins. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
