Um, my company, being a bunch of geeks actually ENCOURAGE us to test new stuff. And the wireless isn't busted. Since you apparently don't bother reading the entire thread, I'll say it slowly.

My friend, I've been running linux since Slackware 3. I know what I'm doing with it. For years, I've been on the RH and Fedora mailing lists since I prefer those OS's (because I live in NC and have a loyal streak in me.) and until recently been very happy with the Fedora community. As I said, your first post irritated me. It was not helpful in any sense of the word, and even with bandwidth becoming more of a commodity, if it's not helpful, don't bloody waste our time with it. > >> Therefore, your comments mean bupkiss to me and probably a lot of other >> people.
