I'm currently running FC5, will probably upgrade to F7 in a couple of months.
Unfortunately my CD/DVD rewriter appears to have died, before it's even seen a dual layer disk :'(
SATA hard drives run without problems for me, but now that SATA optical drives are starting to appear in the shops, would it be OK to buy one of these and get rid of another wide ribbon cable?
Is anybody already running them with Fedora?
Not with Fedora but I found on my home Slackware system that a SATA CD drive was easier to get going than a 'legacy' PATA one. I actually bought a SATA one to enable me to boot successfully from CD. This was because the JMB legacy IDE interface drivers are (or at least were) a bit dodgy. The SATA CD 'just worked' when I connected it.
