http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hello! As a Systemadmin I need a working Notebook which would support a functioning OS ( what else than Fedora could that be ?) Question: I need to buy a Notebook from a big supplyer as IBM, HP, Dell, Acer. Who has a working Notebook which would support ALL its Hardware with Fedora ? Especially: - WLAN (WPA) - a not reflecting TFT as i have on my Samsung -R40- - Virualbox ( so more then 2GB Ram is set) - because of that a nvidia graphiccard - If possible an rs232 (ok, i already have a USB-RS232 adapter, but where is it gone when i need it?) Thanks for any suggestion. (HowTos)

I want to connect a PC to the internet via my notebook, which is connected to a WLAN.

The setup should look like the following scheme: PC (eth0) -> Notebook (eth0) -> Notebook(wlan0) -> Router. Both are running linux - arch on the notebook and funtoo on the PC.

Edit: So I tried rush's method and it didn't work for me, here is what I did:

PC:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.3 route add default

F18 on ssd in Samsung notebook 18 weeks 7 hours ago

I have a Samsung NP-QX411 notebook and have been running Fedora 17.

Just purchased a Sandisk Extreme 120 gb ssd to install as an upgrade. I downloaded F18 KDE and created a live usb. After installing the ssd, I booted the live usb and all seemed fine so I did the install. Installation appeared to go fine as well but the notebook will not boot from the ssd.

Hello

Is this a known bug in Fedora 12.

Software:

* Fedora 12 * Linux Live USB Creator version 2.2 and 2.3. * unetbootin-windows-377.

Hardware:

* Acer 5610 * 4GB Sandisk Cruzer

Problem:

I've just purchased a Acer Aspire V3-551-8469 NX.RZAAA.008 Notebook and had some concerns i'd like some feedback on. First of all its my understanding that this whole uefi situation will be resolved with fedora 18 is this accurate? also what is the best way to ensure that all of the hardware will be detected and functional my thoughts were creating a live usb.
