Well I guess I read wrong on slashdot yesterday. The latest fedora core 2 is test 3, and it is definitely messed up. It detected the hardware fine on my laptop, but the resolution kept going back to 640x480. Messed up. Reinstalling Suse... sigh....
And it fedora detected my wifi card just fine... sigh...

I finally upgraded machines at work to Suse 9.0. They were a hodge podge of redhat and Suse before that, ranging from redhat 6.1 to Suse 9.0. Now they are all Suse 9.0 and it feels so good to have the same good eye candy, with no messed up fonts!
