How well does it support XDMCP choosers and NFS? It might be great for
the desktop but as a server __FC2__ is still not very well documented...
wireless in FC2 clearly lacked basics. I'm hoping FC3 will do better...
that said I just loaded knoppix 3.6 and it picked up my internal
wireless and had no problem with my three pcimca cards... I can't say
that for FC2 :/
Report back on your findings! I'd be interested in hearin how the
install fairs for you.
