I am using Fedora 12 and pleased so far. My biggest problem so far is video.
I can't get compositing to work and suspect that it is using a generic video
driver given Fedora's stance on restricted material. My card is a Nvidia
GEForce 6600. It supports 3D which I use all of the time in Ubuntu. I
suspect that Fedora is not using a proprietary driver. I don't know where to
find one. In Ubuntu it is in the repos. I don't like making such
comparisons. It is just the way I am used to doing it.
Also there is some strange output in resources below. This does not happen
in Ubuntu.

I should be able to get a proprietary driver. It is a common card that has
been around for awhile and works in all distros. It is just that I can't get
it to work properly in this one. Thanks for any help.
