I have to use XP for my scanner, camera software and nokia pc suite.

Some days back I was backing up some data in windows and to complete a 
file name I kept hitting the tab key only to realise I was in dos not 
linux. :)

I am surprised at FC5's software updater. It has no provision for 
updating from the dvd/cd inspite of the fact that it is full of packages 
and there is no need to download from the net. I had to do some 
modifications in the yum repo directory and create a dvd repo file. This 
is something that should have come by default. It would have never 
happened in windows.
