Hello, I've experienced problems in sound card installation with FC 3, and I found it to be generally quite unstable - it would not crach, but applications such as gthumb running on it would crach unexpectedly. This problem was the version that I had downloaded when it had just been released. The machine on which I was having these problems was a Pentium III 450 MHz. I have since installed Mandriva 2006 Linux on the same machine, because I needed multimedia functionality on my machine, which this OS provided, since I was able to install the sound card. I'm now upgrading to a Pentium Core 2 Duo machine with on-board sound and graphics and wanted to check if it will be all right to use any Fedora version core 3 and beyond, since I've personally experienced problems with FC 3. I was currently contemplating Fedora Core 2 64-bit for the machine that I'm upgrading to, but I also wanted to check if it is all right to run a 64-bit Fedora version for a home PC, although the vendor says that a Pentium Core 2 Duo would support a 64-bit OS. Will Fedora be able to detect on-board sound and graphics support on a Pentium Core 2 Duo? There is no separate sound or graphics card, and these functionalities are available only on the motherboard, which is an OEM Intel Chipset motherboard. Regards, - Dev.

Wow, was this email really stuck in a queue for three years? "X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 6.5 September 26, 2003"
Fedora Core 6 uses alsa for it's audio, fedora core 2/3 uses OSS. Alsa and a recent Fedora Core will be far better for your sound needs as it is A) better, and B) newer/more drivers.
Unless there is some very very specific reason you need to run an unsupported fedora release you should never entertain the idea of it.
And yes FC6 will do 64-bit very very well and support most sounds cards including on-boad. In fact that is the exact configuration I am using right now.

Yeah, I was more jovially referring to the subject matter. The question of installing FC3 or FC2 immediately made me check the header to see if it was a time travelling email.
Poor attempt at humor I do admit, but it's been a long day :)

No, the version of Lotus Notes being used was released on September 26, 2003.
Okay, thanks. In that case I'll go for FC6 64-bit. This mail was sent today - I think you must be looking at the version release date for the Lotus Notes release that is installed on my machine!!!

No, you just forgot the :-) in your first message. I must be having a long day too....
Hi,
FC3 is way old ... time to upgrade ... by the way ... wot does gThumb have to do with oss/alsa anyway?

ALSA was included in FC3. In fact it was standard with the 2.6 kernel which shipped with FC2 (2.6 kernel deprecated OSS). Even so the drivers in the kernel and ALSA for your soundcard are most likely out of date.
Unless there is some very very specific reason you need to run an unsupported fedora release you should never entertain the idea of it.

I'm not saying which version to use, but most likely your sound will be fixed by either (manually) upgrading ALSA or the kernel. However it probably is more practical to upgrade Fedora as mentioned. But there's always a chance that even an updated FC6 may have sound card issues.
An added note. If you are interested in multimedia, 64-bit linux does have some limitations. Certain things like web browser plugins and using some 32-bit windows codecs may require some extra work to setup.

This was a far more informed posting than mine. Correct, I'm running 64-bit FC6 perfectly with on-board sound. However Mauriat has reminded me that I am running 32-bit Firefox so that is the main issue it seems for people. Xine/mplayer/vlc though have not let me down..

Nothing - they are separate issues..........I was facing problems with both in FC3.

Hi, Which is the best way to burn an ISO image on windows reliably? There is a program that I had used long back (don't remember the name) that was very bad and wasted many CDs in this process - I had used it to try and burn CD ISO images in windows. The reason for this question is that I'm downloading the FC6 DVD ISO image on a windows machine, and although it is connected to an intranet, I'm not too sure about availability of linux machines with a DVD writer. Thanks, - Dev.

Slowly... And leave the computer alone while you do it.
There's no one simple answer to your query. I found Nero burnt them fine, but for best compatibility, don't burn above 4x speed.

I used this recently for quite a different reason, and then discovered it had written itself into my file associations for burning iso's - it actually worked quite well, so I left it be - it is an open source Windows based burning utility http://burnatonce.net/

I have used deepburner successfully for quite a while. A good place to download the app for free is http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4055.html
