It should have no problem  with your cd writer and dvd player. It sdhoudlnt'
have any problems with your printer. I doubt it will have problems with your
scanner, but I am less certain of that. Your monitor should be a non issue
(at worst it will ask you to select it from a list). It should auto detect
yor video card and allow you to configure it, it will however not beable to
make use of special features of your card , if any, like 3d acceleration,
this will require additioanl work on your part. What type of model and dsl
service is it: ethernet/usb , sdimple connect or pppoe.

Can Fedora detect my sbc dsl internet service? Can Fedora activate my

Should, should and no. Your printer's cd  will most likely be useless in
Fedora.

At the very least the basic functionality will work, and the extra
functionality should be confugrable. The cd is again useless.

This question requires additional information: define save your website, and
what browser do you use in Windows?

Yes it sure does, some may argue that there are too many

Does Fedora have a disk defragmentor program, anti virus program, anti

No defreagmentor as this is not needed, no antivirus, but you can download
one for free, but this is not needed. No spyware, period. It comes with a
simple firewall program which meets most needs. More complex firewall
programs can be downloaded and installed for free.

Yes, but you will have to follow a short tutorial to adding this to your
browser(s) once in Fedora.

If I go to http://www.turbotaxfortheweb.com to file my taxes, will it work?

If you do not need to download any programs it should work just fine.

Yes quite easily. But better yet, you can setup a  small drive that both
Windows and Linux cansee, with a little help.

If I can't transfer my photos to Fedora, does Fedora come with free programs

Yes

Please respond. Thanks.
