Use Windows or install a real or virtual Ubuntu somewhere to do that kind of messing around. Use the free Windows that came with your box and install a virtual Fedora box (assuming your system is up to it). Run a separate Fedora box from your Windows box and import X applications from your Fedora box using Cygwin-X. The possibilities are almost endless, but there is one constant: keep Flash off your Fedora box.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One of the myths about Linux is that you can do anything on downscale hardware. If you're running an older box, some graphical applications will make your box show its age. An old box free of tons of graphical crap can still do amazing things in Linux. Set realistic expectations, don't expect magic, and use something other than Fedora for multi-media web surfing.</div>
