Fedora to the Rescue

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

 



I had been running Ubuntu on a Compaq Presario V5000 laptop
for some time.  After a few too many updates and upgrades, the
barnacles had gotten a bit thick.  I loaded 10.04 desktop but it
wouldn't deal with the Broadcom wi-fi chip.  I tried UE 2.7
with the same result.   Soooo ... I installed Fedora 13 and Fedora
worked with the wi-fi out of the box.

I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 on my office machine after changing
video boards to an ATI 5670.  That change was made necessary
because Windows 7 broke some programs when the default Nvidia
driver was updated.    Ubuntu went blank.  I had to use UE 2.7
with "safe graphics" to get things going.  Fedora 13 worked out of
the box.

Congrats on a job well done!
