I will agree with you there. As far as wireless goes, Fedora REALLY
lags on this anyway. I mean you can get it to work with some effort
but something like Ubuntu from what I hear sets this up very nicely.
Sure wish Fedora took some positive steps in this direction.

It's not the drives I'm worried about so much. It's any of the new
motherboards, or hardware that I'm worried about that maynot get
recognized.
