To Whom It May Concern:
I'm thinking about switching to Fedorea Core 4.
Welcome in
If I buy Windows Crossover Office Standard 5.0,
You might want to hold off on that for awhile.
should Norton Goback 5.0 and Norton Utilities 2.002 be compatible
with Fedora Core 4?
No. But that's ok, you won't be needing those things.
If I saved photos under Windows XP, can I copy and paste it from
my cd to this operating system?
Yes you sure can. If you have a Fat32 partion on your computer, Fedora
will be able to read them directly.
If I can't copy and paste photos from my cd that I saved under
Windows XP and transfer it to this operating system, does this
Fedora Core 4 come with a program that I can scan and save photos
as well as edit?
Yes it does, maybe too many.
Does Fedora Core 4 come with utility programs like a disk
defragmentor
You don't need that in Fedora (to put it very simply, it defrags itself)
, a spyware scanner
You don't need that in Fedora
, an anti virus program
While you don't really need that, Fedora doesn't come with one, you
can get one for free.
& firewall program
Yes it does. To be more precise you get a tool to configure the
firewall that is 'embeded' in the OS
, a program that's similar to System Mechanic
You won't be needing that
if Fedora Core 4 if I can't install System Mechanic, and a media
player that plays audio and video clips as well as playing dvds?
There are tons of them. But you will have to do a little bit of
configuration to get those media players to play patented audio
formats, but that takes just a few minutes to do.
Can this operating system configure my video card
It should auto detect your VGA, please post your brand and model for
confirmation
, my sbc dsl ! internet service
Whast type of DSL and internet service do you have? Chances are that
will be the least of your problems.
, my speakers,
Speakers don't need configuration
my monitor
Normally yes
, my hp 2100c scanner
You may need some help with that if it doesn't happen automatically
, and my hp 3322 color inkjet printer?
Yes it will have the drivers already , you won't have to install them
Please respond. Thanks.
You're most welcome
Nathan
