Fedora 11 nicely coming along!

I have chosen Fedora as my Linux of choice after a scitzo past of distro hopping. I have been wrestling with leaving behind Windows as you can see in other posts but I am sincerely convinced now that Linux and opensource/free software will be my future.

This post is more of a call out to those who had issues with Fedora and Ubuntu and the Intel Wireless driver 4965. I had very slow performance issues and could only resolve it by installing the backports package for Ubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 was giving me the same problem unitil compiling the compat6_wireless updates from linuxwireless.org.

I am happy to say that Fedora 11 has this issue fixed as of the Alpha release I downloaded and installed today.

Just thought I ‘d give a shout out to all those looking for an update on this issue. I know it had me pulling my hair out. I’m not sure if the fix is in the latest Ubuntu beta but it probably will be if not yet.
