[Fedora-marketing-list] Fedora compatability

[Matt Bacon]

Hi I am considering going over to fedora as a secondary operating system due to the Linux
appeal. I am enquiring about my computer and its compatibility.

 

1) I have a "ralink turbo wireless LAN card" is this compatible, as I do not
have an Ethernet port so it is my only access to the Internet?

 

2) I am using a Laptop for the installation and due to this i have a set screen size.
(1280 x 800) is this compatible with fedora?

 

Thanks for your help in advance

Dear Matt,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HCL is the closest to a full hardware
compatibility list we've got. If you cannot find answers to your
questions there, you can also ask your question on
fedora-list(a)redhat.com or refer to http://fedoraforum.org .

Thank you for using Fedora!
Alex

1. it seems supported. i googled for "ralink turbo wireless LAN card"
and they all point to it being realtek card. so i would presume using a
realtek driver would help.

2. screen size or resolution is not an issue. since you didn't mention
your laptop try going to linux-laptop.net and maybe you could find your
laptop brand there. i would also suggest checking our

hope this helps.

don't be afraid to ask again.


cheers
