Ubuntu hoytu, Fedora bantu dum, dum, dum…

Aah, I had to install Fedora on my laptop as the Ubuntu install got erased.
The Dell customer care had sent an engineer to check the installation and operation of the newly purchased laptop. But the guy instead of correcting things just erased my harddisk and went giving a complaint copy… 
Actually my Dell Restore CD did not have any drivers for Vista in it. I told him about the problem and that all I needed was the RescueCD with drivers for Vista but otherwise the system was ok. The guy told instead that the CD does have the drivers, that probably I did not install the OS properly and that re-installation is the only solution??? He installed the Vista again by erasing everything in the disk but still could not find the drivers in the Rescue CD?! Ayyo papa… 
He then asked me to get the drivers from Dell’s website and filled a complaint form stating that new Rescue CD had to be sent to the customer, took my signture and went.
I was so angry with him for not listening to me but calmed down later when I came to know that the guy is from my native and speaks Tulu 
Not just that, the guy’s father is a priest in the Sri Dharmasthala temple! Hmmm… maani, e onji sarti budute pola… so much for the brotherhood
I had taken my Ubuntu CD to my office to install it there! I didn’t have the patience to wait so I just installed Fedora 8. Everything works even with Fedora… It even has option to configure wlan, but I don’t know how to configure it. Has to work on it. Otherwise, everything seems to just work.
Let me live with the ‘Werewolf’ till the ‘Sulphur’ is released.
