I'm not really sure.
'Twasn't memory, I've the full 4 GB.
There was a kernel bug that broke my motherboard in F15 or F16.
Supposedly that was fixed, but F17 didn't work either.
I've written articles on the subject.
I managed to do a net-install of CentOS on the first attempt,
so I'm reasonably happy on the Linux front.
I might try F20, just to see if it works.
