I have it running on an Acer Aspire 1406LC with no problems. Before I
had problems with screen config and video drivers using RH9, Suse or
Mandrake. With Fedora it runs great. Finaly I can have Linux on my
Laptop.

What I did to try: Made a Windows boot disk, printed the hardware
configuraction, resized the NTFS partition and Installed Fedora. After
testing It works great, I deleted all disk and installed only Fedora.
The modem In this laptop is not a problem because it comes with a
Smartlink Modem and the manufacturer provides Linux Drivers (Nice to see
linux suport for that).
