tried fc6 too on my inspiron 6400,
it installed well, but cant seem to get the ethernet and the wireless working..
even though it has detected it if checked using lspci..

other than that, well, its the ati x1400 card, which cant seem to work as well, has to resort to vga generic driver which means no widescreen support and not being able to use beryl... sighhh

rite now, i'm using back ubuntu 6.06, every device works except for the ati card. maybe i should try ubuntu 6.10 later

me too. but i didnt have much time to play with the wireless setting. the ethernet worked fine here. as for graphics, im using the intel 945GM chipset and need to do some tweakings to get full perfect resolution.

btw, if you are running core duo or c2d machine,fc6 came with a wrong kernel. it wont detect the cpu info/speed correctly. check out the below links for more info :-

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211941
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212091

in other word, just upgrade the kernel to the latest version. anyway, ubuntu isnt that bad afterall. good luck.
