Fedora 20 on Dell Precision M3850

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

According to FedEx, my new machine is on a truck speeding to my
local distribution center for delivery tomorrow. So hopefully it will
be here tomorrow. I had two questions:

1) It comes with Windoze 7 (with an upgrade option/disc for W8). Not
sure if I want to wipe it off (ideally, I would have liked to have not
paid for it) but I was wondering if I wanted to do a dual boot, is
there a set of instructions somewhere that I could follow? I have had no
problems with earlier windoze xp unProfessional dual installs, but not
with W7 or W8 (have not even seen a machine with this one). I do wonder
about keeping an OS I am likely to only use when I am talking to some
technical support for some service. Somehow the ones that require
contacting technical support always want you to use IE. I bluff my way
through on these ones.

2) This laptop has touchscreen abilities. While I could in general care
less about this feature, again I did not have an option to get rid of
it. So, I wonder if it is possible to use the touchscreen features with
Fedora 20?

Am I better off trying CentOS on this machine because of the two
questions above? I would however like to stick to Fedora.

Many shanks,
Ranjan
