It detected my eth card(fc1 had some problems) and other devices. Not 
the matrox pharelia. Anyway... good detection

With a complete installation of about 6,6 Gb Fedora has a great amount 
of applications.

I think Anaconda installer is very easy to understand. I first started 
to 'play' with linux with an old rh, but the installation method was 
simple and i liked it instanctly

Use... I'm not a linux guru, for the needs i have at the moment i found 
Fedora simple, not the best distro on this way, but simple.

Many aspects. Graphically the bluecurve theme is dominant and i haven't 
found improvements.
I think the peculiar difference is that fedora uses grub as a 
bootloader, when rh gave the choice between lilo and grub; but for many 
aspects the distro's an evoluted rh.

I tried it on a P4 2,66 - 1Gb RAM Machine. It seems to me a little slow 
and heavy. Haven't tried it on slower machines.
