What I did see on the Ubuntu list was a reference to this... http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html which I thought was a rather helpful page and wonder if someone has done something similar for Fedora (though much of the Ubuntu tweaks are suitable for Fedora). One of the things I like about Ubuntu is that there are some resources out there that don't seem to exist for Fedora. and as long as I am quoting & linking, I found this quote (attributable to Paul Mauritz of VMWare) to be very intriguing... "Three years ago over 95 percent of the devices connected to the Internet were personal computers. Three years from now that number will probably be less than 20 percent. More than 80 percent of the devices connected to the Internet will not be Windows-based personal computers." http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/can-ubuntu-linux-win-on-smartphones-and-tablets/9843 Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
