==Mirrors==
[[gp:Campus computingComputing|Campus Computing]] [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/fedora/ mirrors Fedora]. Recent versions of Fedora can use the following pre-written files.
* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/yum.repo.d/fedora.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo]
* [http://mirror.cc.vt.edu/yum.repo.d/fedora-updates.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo]
==Edit Hosts file==
A [[w:Hosts file|hosts file[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file]] is an easy way to block a wide range of domains (ads, malware, etc). This works in Windows and Mac as well, but the file is in a different location. I found the MVPS hosts file[http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htmMVPS hosts file] to be nice, but there are others available. You can also edit the file to add domains to block individually.
In Fedora, the hosts file is located in '/etc/hosts'. To edit or replace the file, you must be logged in as root. SELinux will not allow you to do this, so once you've moved your new hosts file, you have to restore the default security context.
yum install xorg-x11-drv-wacom
</pre>
On the Fujitsu T731, all 3.5.x kernels up to 3.5.5 prevents the Wacom tablet from being recognized. Use previous kernels through the GRUB selection menu if the tablet functions are needed. Be warned though: this can lead to some security vulnerabilities.
This may affect other Wacom tablets and touchscreens.
