"Wireless networking on Linux is entering a new era. An era of bliss and ease; where users and network administrators have abundant time for relaxing lie-abouts on sunny warm hills because their wireless systems are humming along contentedly, instead of being vexing and unreliable. OK, so maybe it's not going to be quite that Utopian, but things are definitely looking up, thanks to a lot of hard work by a lot of talented developers. So what's going to be different? A brand-new wireless LAN kernel stack, which is going to reduce the current WLAN herd-of-cats approach to a single unified subsystem that supports all wireless drivers."

Have you got the specifications of the machine? I'm very surprised that the sound isn't working given that most machines these days are loaded with either AC97 or Intel HD sound chips.
Regarding Fedora, If I was you I'd probably wait till Fedora 7 is released or at least track down the sound issue on you laptop; also, with the screen resolution, make sure the correct driver is being used - I am not too sure whether the Intel accelerated driver has been merged yet - http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/

Mate, the machine is so under powered for Windows Vista, it should be a criminal offence if the company you bought it off had it preloaded. 512MB is not even enough for Vista,let alone the 448mb left after graphics is taken out of the equation, it still be woefully under powered.
My suggestion, grab a copy of Ubuntu, max out the ram, and go from there, you'll find your life will be alot easier.
As a side note, they're still selling Core Solo machines?
