Yep. Like I said I have been installing Linux on this machine since whenever I built it. Everything from mandrake to Debian (even Gentoo). In the disk that I was going to install Fedora, I installed opensuse with no issues.

I installed opensuse with no issues.

Well that's the beauty of choice. I had xorg lockups every now and then with OpenSuSE 10.3 retail. With FC8 i didnīt have any issues.

Whatever works.

Whatever works indeed.
I have the complete opposite situation.
Fedora 8 locks up my laptop but Opensuse 10.3 is very stable - not one hiccup.

Go figure

My whole thing is that I don't acutally like suse all that much and wanted to use Fedora like I did before I started using Ubuntu, to re-acquaint myself with "The Red Hat way" TM of doing things. I've wiped opensuse and installed debian, but I really needed fedora on my machine.
