Indeed. There are points of concern I have (as I'm sure readers know ;-) 
) with Fedora's direction, but gratuitous not-working is not one of 
them. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that not everything works for 
everyone, but on the whole (except for problems with NVidia) I've had 
very few problems with Fedora. Despite two-and-counting in-place 
upgrades using yum :-D.

I'd also like to offer kudos for Cambridge, especially everyone that's 
responsible in any way for the fact that it *just works* (well, okay, 
except for the infamous suspend) on my Asus 900A. Frankly I'm pretty 
amazed with that, just as I was downright shocked when I stuck my 
LiveUSB in my Mom's laptop, and it not only detected but was able to use 
the CDMA modem with zero configuration (thereby beating my previous 
experience with Kubuntu live that failed to download the firmware it 
thought it needed).

Now, about that 'startup in 10 seconds' goal... ;-)
