   You guys are making the point that Fedora is not for the everyday 
person. This is obvious since the people like me using F7 as a Personal 
Computer are in a minority, like 95 to 1 against doing this. The huge 
majority have mastered the ability to load Windows or they bought the 
computer with Windows on it.

   I am weird. My new computer is one that comes with no operating 
system and I had problems with the nVidia hardware which is not Linux 
friendly. But nVidia makes a RPM that fixes F7 so it works fine with it.

   At this point I am happy with F7 and will try here long after most 
of you run off to Febora 8 and maybe F9 :-)

   There are still changes to be made but the basic computer and the 
Fedora 7 Operating System is just what I want. For my personal computer.
