Positives and Negatives of Fedora 8

As Windows is the biggest following Operating system, so software and device drivers are manufactured to effectively work on this platform.

However, apart from this, Fedora (and most other Linux) defy reason and maintain a respectable compatibilty with many products on the market today and into the future. As Linux is not mainstream, problems are created where products are not designed for Linux, but exclusively for another environment, regardless of the debate of what OS is better or worse.

What I do have to say is that Fedora runs most of my products. From external hard drives (it runs solely from it), memory sticks, bluetooth adapters, sound controls and SD memory slots. It even runs my Wireless adapter, network interface and soundcard.

However, my only product that I would like to see improved would have to be compatibility with my laser printer. This is harsh on Fedora, and I excuse Fedora for the sole reason that my printers drivers are solely dependent on Windows GUI. Now that problem resides on the company releasing my printer, they should be more aware that people use alternate OS's.

So, overall, My Fedora works brilliantly, with only needing to change my printer to one that supports other OS's.
