After comments in this thread I decided to give Centos6.3 a go - unfortunately 
it's still Centos 0 Fedora 1.

Centos installed okay on my DELL Vostro 1510 without any problems but then 
totally failed to see my WIFI (as expected) and my LAN (which wasn't), After 
fighting without an internet connection to get an internet connection I gave 
in and tried F16 instead.

Most things just worked, and 5 minutes Googling got my WIFI working too - and 
better than the F14 setup it replaced (It now works with my Orange Live Box).

I'll maybe give Centos another go for a server (IBM System x3550). I'm still 
planning on re-designing my distributed Exim install to using mirrored 
Postgresql databases. Stops me getting bored
