Fedora Core 4 -- Personal Observations
worker201:
Whoa - just because an OS doesn't automatically include settings information for your modem doesn't mean it sucks. Actually, the fact that some companies distribute settings files with their distros is a bonus. And some rare or outdated hardware support isn't usually built into the installation kernel. That makes a distro smart, not sucky.

I tried everthing to make it work, I was NOT expecting it to work right from the start. I interrogated the tech support for hours on end. I searched every corner of the internet for a fix. I talked to all the Linux experts about it and NOBODY COULD FUCKING FIX IT on Linspire at least. And it goes of and works perfectly on Fedora ... it's not that I was expecting it to work perfectly ... its that it would NOT work at all !!! (You can tell, I'm a bit angry)
Pathos:
Probably a propriety driver written by the company, its not surprising because Fedora is a commercial focused product and has been around for quite a while so they would have gone through the trouble of making it work.
You should trash that win modem and use a linux supported model anyway. From now on I'm only going to purchase hardware with good linux support.

I disagree, I've tried Linspire and it sucks ass, it wouldn't even recognize my modem, I was going to buy a new fucking modem for a piece of shit distro called Linspire. Fedora reconized my modem instantly, I didn't even need to do anything. Linspire sucks, Fedora is far better than Linspire. :nothappy: It's not slow on my computer, Linspire was like twice as slow to boot, and Mandrake was in-between.
Speed rating by me: (these are the 3 distros that actually installed on my computer without major issues)
Fedora > Mandriva > Linspire

You dumb shit, that is why I said it's SECOND to Linspire in terms of speed. :rolleyes:

Second to Linspire as in Linspire is 1st in speed ? or the other way around ? ... yes I tend to be a dumb shit sometimes, but not too often.
