Just how old of hardware DOES Fedora support? They have to draw the line SOMEWHERE.
As an example,would it be the stuff on a PII? PIII? 486? Or what?
IOW; if I were to take the latest release (F12 in this case) how far back in "hardware history" could I expect to go w/o support issues.
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.
I would like to know if it is possibile to have support for wi-fi midi support in linux.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI liked the feel that I got from KDE from my short experiment with Arch. So I decided to use KDE with Fedora, and I like the results.
The only problem I'm finding with it is that I can't find a way to get mp3s to play with KDE apps. I can get Banshee to play them with gstreamer. The problem is that no matter what method I use to get KDE apps to play the files (like Amarok), they won't work.
I've tried the following commands.
Code:
su -c 'yum -y install kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree id3v2'
Gives me an error saying that kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree doesn't exist.
Code:
su -c 'yum install xine-lib-extras-nonfree id3v2'
This installed perfectly, but mp3 playback still does not work.
I don't see nfs listed in /proc/filesystems. Does that mean it is not supported? Is it possible to make it available for Fedora 11? You know, assume I don't want to compile my own kernel?

Can anyone suggest any packages that will enable mp3 support in these applications?

i'm thinking of getting either an ati radeon 4670, 4770, or 5750. i dual-boot, linux 90% of the time (currently fedora 10, might switch to f12 if advisable), 10% of the time i boot into windows xp to play games. currently my card is an 8600gts, and it's ok for me in linux. i actually don't do any 3d stuff in my desktop during linux - no compiz, no 3d gaming, nothing.
aside from my software development work and r&d stuff, i also just use it for watching the occasional videos vid (sometimes unwittingly, like getting rickrolled, heh) and watching movies in totem (mostly .avi ones). oh, and it has to be able to do a "correct" resolution, not stuck on low-res 800x600 or 1024x768 (as was my experience having to use mesa on a low-end ati igp, not my box though). my resolution is currently 1280x1024, but i will also be upgrading to a new monitor which will do either 1440x900 or 1600x900 (haven't decided yet on the monitor model)
for these purposes, will the aforementioned ati cards work out of the box? basically, it just has to be able to support the proper resolution of my monitor, and not screw up video playback. that's it. no 3d involved as far as i can gather.
