There used to be video tours of Gnome, KDE ???? Can this be linked to
the marketing group for showing the new Gnome, KDE?

there a way to spice it up???
I refrained from adding to many pictures because I saw something
mentioned in another post about it being harder
when it comes to translating the document. I can definitely add more
pics if you'd like? I still have some from
when I did this page originally.

Big job but mostly for me it works out of the box so I'm not sure what

There's no way we could possibly explain all the ways on getting
wireless working in Fedora. Maybe a
document that explains how to get things working for cards that work out
of the box, and a link to the
madwifi, ndiswrapper, etc. sites?

Can we give an explanation or an example walk through to make fedora
really nice. Also would be great with pics of some desktops that look
good.
Should things like compiz and emerald, be added as well?
