Usability
After Matt suggested perhaps Fedora might manage to handle the wireless device easily in the laptop on which I installed Solaris 10, I decided to try Fedora Core 3 in the disk space left over.
Two usability problems have kept me from using the laptop.
- Fedora installed Grub such that Solaris 10 won't boot.
- Fedora's support for the USB mouse that came with the laptop is flaky; After a minute or so the mouse pointer drifts off to the corners of the screen and I lose control over it.
Funny how those little configuration problems render the all software on the machine basically useless. Even funnier, I quit using the laptop because of them, even though I'm sure they're easy to fix.
