OT: hardware problems

[John]

  Well I can say for sure now, using linux (or at least FC) has left a 
really bad taste in my mouth... I'd rather go back to Windows 100% and 
deal with its security problems than have to *waste *my time 
troubleshooting my FC builds. Two outta three FC boxes (here) have 
'misplaced' the floppy and cd drives. I know the cd drive was working 
when I switched over to KDE from Gnome; now its MIA with KDE too. This 
box, can't even find my scanner-- jeez, I can go to the HP site and get 
the scanner software for Win95 to Vista.
  How screwed up is Fedora 7 going to be??
