FAQ
Q
How do I configure network connections? How does Fedora support wireless connections?
A
By default, Fedora configures the network cards on your computer to automatically obtain the correct network settings with DHCP. If your computer connects to a wired network or DSL router, no further configuration action is required.

For other types of connections, you can use Network Manager which is installed and enabled by default in Fedora. This new system provides automatic networking and wireless configuration, as well as an interface for VPN connections. Laptops may switch seamlessly between networks with NetworkManager. Refer to the System Administrator's Guide at docs.fedoraproject.org.
Q
How can I install Fedora?

Is my hardware compatible with Fedora?
A
Linux is able to support every class of component and peripheral. Fedora includes all of the drivers provided by the projects that are responsible for Linux hardware support. The Fedora installation process automatically detects the supported hardware on your computer.
