To the Ubuntu Community,

For those who may still have a DELL Inspiron 5100 I just wanted to post what flavor and version of Linux worked for me in getting my 10 year old laptop back to usable condition (Or as I called it Raising the Titanic). Along with the hardware specs I will summarize what parts of the laptop worked with my version of Linux and which parts did not (Which was very few).

Hello, I am new to Fedora and a noob at Linux in general. Everything seems to work great so far on Linux except my audio jacks.

I am running Fedora 18 on a Dell Studio XPS 1647. There are two headphone jacks and a microphone jack which in Windows can be configured to be front, back and center speakers.
