[ale] ubuntu versus fedora

[Richard Faulkner]

I run 9.10 on my desktop (has issues w/my GPU's but I've fixed that in
my configs) and have F12 on my Acer Travelmate.  I used to have 9.10 on
the Travelmate but it was really flaky on connecting to my WAP.  I
really didn't want to have two different systems right now but decided
to give it a go anyway.  (I'd rather support a single new OS not two as
I'm converting from M$).  BUT...even with that said I'm finding that F12
is GREAT on my laptop and I'm totally happy with it so far.  The n/w
manager does a MUCH better job and doesn't pose any of the issues that I
had with 9.10.    ---Rich

I just moved to F12 from F11, and I can say that F12 has fixed all of
what I saw as bug in Network Manager.  I
had to uninstall it from F11, it was so crappy.  But with F12, I
appear to have no issues at all with the wired
connections, and I was able to get the wireless to connect with only
minimal research.  SO Fedora 12 might
be worth a try if Network Manager is your bete noir.
