FC13 : solution to apparently all problems.

Yesterday I came across a tweet which said Fedora core 13 has been released. I have been using FC12 for over a month now and hence was excited about FC13. Although I am on the verge of crossing the data limit of my internet connection, I downloaded the live CD and gave it a try. I was astonished by my findings.

FC13 has done away with most of my problems.

• ACPI problem on Dell Studio 14 - solved.


• No Sound - driver missing - was already solved.


• Graphics driver:- mesa-drivers included in FC13 are fully compatible with my ATI Radeon 4530. I was frantically posting on forums for this post1 post


• Unable to stream Video on firefox - still persists :(

I am merrily downloading the Installer DVD, can't wait for tech-magazines to ship it with them. I think most of the major distributions coming out now will be able to include the required drivers and hence work out of the box on my DELL. So in case you've been facing problems with your new laptop whose hardware was not supported by the contemporary distros, its time to switch over to Fedora Core 13
