Fedora 8 spins into action

Unhappy

@Lewis

That's exactly the point of view I see so often and fail to understand. Linux devotees keep telling us Windows users how wonderful Linux is and how easy it is to use and how soon everyone will be using it.

Then we get a problem, are told that we're too stupid to understand and no-one's going to help us unless we help ourselves.

So really, Linux is wonderful and easy and everyone WHO HAS AN IT DEGREE* will be using it.

* or those that don't ever actually DO anything with their PC's but rather spend all their time working out how to use them. Rather like classic car owners....they seem to know their motor's inside out but never actually drive them anywhere.

Thumb Down

Linux easier than WIndows? Blah!

Well - just downloaded the live CD of Fedora 8 - I really would like to be able to use Linux.

Booted up my Acer laptop - all looking good. Ah....WiFi doesn't work. Now - I class myself a pretty clued up but all I get is an error "Determining IP information for wlan0... failed". Try Googling that error and find me a single page that a Linux newbie can follow or understand.

Installed XP (and yes - I HAVE installed XP from scratch) and well....WiFi (and erm...everything else on this laptop) just works out of the box.
