Quite a few things seem to be working now that were initially broken or flakey: * The intel video driver works now * The ethernet card works now * Suspend to ram kind of works not (but not more than once) * Suspend to disk works pretty much The only real brokenness left in Fedora (apparently not in Ubuntu, but I haven't tested) is wireless networking - definitely not the thing you want broken on these :) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
