I am Looking for the following: Stability - Fedora like stability (I have NEVER had fedora crash on me) Usability - Ubuntu like Usability (aka gnome lol) Built in LUKS Encryption (Ubuntu alternative CD NEVER works for me.) Support for Broadcom or Alpha wifi cards. Is there a fedora Spin that has support for Broadcom or Alpha? The normal one won't connect to my SSID (WPA2 AES CCMP Hidden SSID). Any help would be appreciated
for stability sintific linux is another awesome choice its base on redhat 6 and 2.28 gnome also another fedora remix like fusion thats called funduntu http://www.fuduntu.org/
pclinuxos http://www.pclinuxos.com/?page_id=180 Desktop friendly, will support your broadcom card, stable and usable. I'm not sure about the LUKS encryption though.
also like to add http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/broadcom-linux-sta-driver you can wire with your router and then install rpm fusion and get drivers also without wired connection please check the above link
Thanks for the suggestions everyone I will definitely check them out. Another thing (I should have mentioned in my FP) that has never worked for me. I can't see my SSID (Hidden) and trying to connect fails. (I hate broadcom ) My alpha half worked (only ever saw 2 AP's even though its a high gain and high range antenna) i will try it again.
