All is going well. I’m writing this from firefox on linux on my laptop. The install went great.
The setup is fine other than my wifi card not working out of the box. Its an Intel 3945ABG. I know exactly what needs to happen to make it work and I’m in the process of doing it now.
As with nearly every linux intall that I’ve done, my sound is not working…. yet… but I’m confident that I will get it working quickly. This is probably the most common desktop linux problem after intsall but not once have I ended up with truly unsupported hardware. I can always seem to get it to work.
I hooked up eth0 and ran yum update. Next I need to get the drivers for my wifi card.
I’ll post again in a little while.
Somehow over the last couple of years my linux usage has become a server only thing. Linux used to be my main desktop os unless I was doing graphics stuff, but over time I got used to windows with the litestep shell.
