The link I posted shows what hardware is known to work in Linux. And since
Linux is Linux and Fedora is Linux and Linux is *not* Fedora. You do the
math. ;-)
I did not post this link because there is *no* Fedora HCL. As it says
here. And why. You may notice that they link to the URL that I posted.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HCL
With a Google search for Fedora hardware compatibility the Fedora Wiki
page referenced above was the first hit BTW.
