Dell Inspiron?
« on: June 15, 2008, 04:16:49 PM »
Have tried two distros on my machine, but the installs failed. 

Fedora said it needed a driver, but it wasn't clear for what?

Thoughts?

You say you tried two distros but don't say which ones so i ask have you tried Ubuntu or OpenSuse as i believe there top 2 at the minute. I can't help with Fedora as never used it sorry

I have tried Fedora a couple of times, but I didn't like it. As Richard said, you're probably better off with Ubuntu. If you'd like to stick with Fedora, you might want to check out Fedora Forum as they're more likely to be able to solve your problem. :)

What was the other distribution that you tried other than Fedora? Also, what model Dell Inspiron are you using?
