[K12OSN] Damn, they are moving fast

[Dennis Daniels]

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.
