Fear there may be.  Uncertainty and doubt - no.  You will see that both Keith 
and I are having great problems.  They exist.  If someone comments that 
another distro can handle something but FC can't, that's legitimate comment.  
As it is, Dotan has said that he can use it in kubuntu, and will try it on 
fedora.

If you have nothing helpful to add, perhaps you should question why you are 
replying.
