ready to give up Linux

[Croombe F. Pensom]

I have now installed Fedora (including fc7) on a number of different
machines and they all work just fine : they install easily, find
everything and run first time no problems.

Maybe there is something you are doing incorrectly during the install
process : it is easy to overlook something if you speed through the
install too quickly.

Also, are installing or updating? If one is updating (from, say, FC6 to
fc7) then it usually (in my experience) doesn't work and I have found
that it's best to do a complete install with every new version of
Fedora.

I can't agree with the reply that there's a problem with Fedora maturity
(or maturity in any other distro if it comes to that). Each distro has
its own quirks and and characteristics, but I have found that "maturity"
has nothing to do with it. Each new version of a distro addresses
outstanding matters such as small bugs, new devices, new protocols,
updated applications and so on and, despite its stability, even Linux
will be prone to small bugs being introduced whenever there is an update
to the kernel or an application. But nothing like the problems one
experiences with Windoze.

Maybe the machine on which you are trying to install fc7 has some
characteristic that Linux doesn't like or can't cope with : I understand
that laptops in general seem to be Linux UNfiendly but, with my IBM R31,
I've had no troubles with any distro I've tried installing on it
(perhaps because it is old now?).
