Fedora doesn't like my Toshiba laptop for some reason. I can install Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu - anything but Fedora. It simply doesn't like it.

Well if I had to be "stuck" on a distro, Fedora would be one I could live with.

How did you get your fonts to look so crisp and clean? Mine look like ass on Ubuntu (1920x1080, sub-pixel AA, slight hinting).
