[ale] ubuntu versus fedora

[Jeff Hubbs]

"Ubuntu" is the name of one of many *distributions* of the GNU/Linux 
operating system.  Whereas the operating system software components are 
freely and readily available, people and/or companies combine the 
components in a distribution for installation on systems.

But with F12, I appear to have no issues at all with the wired connections, and I was able to get the wireless to connect with only minimal research.  SO Fedora 12 might be worth a try if Network Manager is your bete noir.
