Questions about Fedora Core 4

[Chris Wright]

Yes and No.
 
Dual Boot your system to be sure. If it works, you are lucky, if not, you've
not lost anything.
 
Judging from your question you are totally new to *nix, which is why I said
Yes and No.
Yes it can do all you ask but it might need some *nix knowledge so it won't
be a pain free exercise for you.
The No is because it is 'not as easy' as say non- *nix platforms and you
don't seem to have any experience of them.
 
And if you want all the features you are asking for, then perhaps you should
stick with XP and spend some time learning *nix first.

Regards
 
Chris

Subject: Questions about Fedora Core 4


To Whom It May Concern:
 
Does Fedora configure all my hardware like my cd rw writer/dvd player, hp
2100c scanner, hp 3322 color inkjet printer,, video card, monitor, my
siemens 4100 dsl modem? Can Fedora detect my sbc dsl internet service? Can
Fedora activate my scanner? Since my printer has a cd to install my printer
software, can it be compatible if I have the Crossover Office Standard 5.0?
I have a Logitech Mouseware 9.41.1 trackball with the windows compatible cd
and I need to know if its compatible.

If I saved my favorite websites on cd under windows xp, can I copy it and
paste it to Fedora & Fedora compatible web browser? Is it possible I can
download Windows Media Player 10, Adobe reader, Cyberlink PowerDVD 4.0,
System Mechanic, Complete Cleanup, Norton Goback 3.0, Norton Utilitie! s
2002, and McAfee Internet Security 8.0? If I can't download these Windows
programs using Crossover Office Standard 5.0, does Fedora have similar
programs? Does Fedora have a disk defragmentor program, anti virus program,
anti spyware program, and a firewall program? If a web page requires windows
media player, is it possible I can play the audio or video on a Fedora
compatible media player?

If I go to http://www.turbotaxfortheweb.com
<http://www.turbotaxfortheweb.com/>  to file my taxes, will it work? With
this website, I don't need to download any programs.

Can I copy my photos from my cd that I saved under windows xp and transfer
it to Fedora? If I can't transfer my photos to Fedora, does Fedora come with
free programs for me to scan, edit, and save my photos?

Please respond. Thanks.

Nathan Low
