Installing fedora on dell inspiron 15
Hi All, I need some suggestion on installing fedora 13 on my new dell inspiron n5010. Through many forums i found there are some drivers problems with installing fedora 13 on dell. Can anyone suggest me if its a good idea to install fedora on dell ? Is anyone successfully running fedora on their laptops? Is it a better option to go with RHEL5? Thanks in advance. -- cheers Sumatheja Dasararaju -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Re: system hangs when i turn on desktop effects
Hi, Thanks for the response. In my case not just compiz is getting crashed the whole systems gets hung. No way other than hard rebooting the machine. Can you let me know if there is a way to recover from this without rebooting and is there a way to check what caused the issue.
