Yes.  But to be most current I just installed Fedora 4 and had to do a 
text install because the graphics was way off focus and jittery.  After 
the install and booting into graphics mode it because illegible again.  
I think I may have a bunch of hardware that no linux distribution likes. 
mobo: epox 8RDA+
video card: Matrox G550
I think I'm just gonna watch TV and have dinner for the rest of the evening.
Thanks.
I went to the installfest but apparently you needed to bring your own 
monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, wires, etc, so I didn't install there.
