Re: What Packages in Fedora you be thankful of?

by Aapo Ville Antrea Romu

Hi! Yum is a great package. Works as well as apt-get in Debian. Great piece of software. Ximian Evolution. I really like it. Email, calendar etc. in one efficient and stable package. Mozilla web browser. Works everywhere as expected. Terminal Server Client. I could not live without it. Both TSC and VNC working great. It is a huge effort you have made with 64bit distro also. Hopefully it will get more supported around the audio/multimedia areas also. Best Regards: Exitium

preamble for intel 2200bg wireless???

by Anne & Lynn Wheeler

I've got the latest ipw2200-0.18 wireless driver Sunday and installed on fc3 and it working well at home ... but am having trouble where there are multiple access points in the same area. the service people say that there is some preamble issue ... especially with "G" and cisco wireless points ... where the laptap starts oscillating between the various access points (all same ssid) and loosing connection. there is supposedly some preamble option change necessary to correct the problem. I just found out that there was ipw2200-0.19 driver from sometime yesterday and just now installed it. It seems to have similar but different characteristics to 0.18 ... comes up and works fine initially for a time ... and then looses signal.

Hardware Database

by Philip Johnson

Hello, Is there a supported hardware database for Fedora Core? I haven't seen one, and I believe it would be extremely useful for people who are possibly migrating/moving/switching to Fedora from windows to know which hardware will work out of the box. I don't currently have any progamming skills (apart from website related programming, php for example) so I would be very happy to set-up and maintain such a database. Let me know what you think, and tell me if I'm wrong if there is a database ;) Thanks, Philip Johnson (PlasticMonkey)

New testing kernel.

by Dave Jones

I just made a 2.6.9-1.698_FC3 set of kernels which fix a number of bugs (Full changelog below), including some of the more popular ones that were introduced during the last update (namely, smbfs should work again, and hopefully the palm/visor oopses should be gone too). There's still a number of bugs that affect a lot of users (like the acpi_power_off issue which I still don't have a handle on, despite being able to reproduce it and spending countless hours building kernels with extra debugging). Hopefully I'll get some of the other nastier issues knocked off soon. So, in the meantime, try out -698, and file bugs if something new broke. (And please close any old ones that went away with this kernel). The last 2.6.9 update closed quite a few long-standing bugs, however a *lot* of bugs are still in NEEDINFO awaiting confirmation with the new kernel(s). The biggest change in this kernel over the older ones that affects all x86 users, is that the 4g/4g memory split is no longer the default. If you have a lot of memory (16GB or more), or have a workload that benefits from being able to have more address space, you can use the -hugemem kernel to run with 4g/4g again. The regular non-hugemem kernels have the traditional 3:1 split. Due to this quite large change, this kernel could really use folks jumping up and down on it for a while before it gets pushed into updates-proper.

Automatic Installation of Printers

by Jeffrey D. Yuille

Hello, A suggestion for FC4 would be the automatic detection and installation of printers on the local machine, as is the case with some other distributions of Linux, with the option to choose CUPS or not.

FC4 Suggestion: Dynamically Generated "role based" menus

by Hewitt,William P - JSC

It would be kinda useful/interesting if one could generate the menu system dynamically based on a role variable..... Basically an XML "if" statement and an extra field in the ".desktop" files..... I have been deploying a test group of "ordinary" users with very different skill sets and computing requirements - it would be nice to be able to eliminate menu items for some of these individuals (like the 80 year old woman that only uses email, word processing and the internet) and still provide the set of administrative menus for the "root" account and provide access to the programming applications to a programmer, games to the kiddies, etc.... Yes I know you can build separate instances for different users, but it would save a great deal of time and eliminate the "human error" factor if this could be done globally and transparently during the install/initialization.... Perhaps with just another keyword in the xml definition? Dont know and I am just throwing this out there... Perhaps there is alrady something like this in place. Any thoughts? WPH
