1. if fedora comes wth all e packages wtz e diferent between fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux(RHEL)...? i thought only e RHEL contains all e packages and fedora only e basics ...!

Fedora contains all packages released under FOSS terms. This include the RHEL kernel. What it doesnt have are the proprietary software that is meant only for RHEL.

2. my microphone not workin wth ubuntu... i tried volume controler settings... they r not muted... but it works wel wth windows...headphones wrk perfectly wth both ubuntu and windows... whr cld b e fault?

Sound card drivers, sound engine used or both. What's the sound card you got and what's the sound engine used ? Also what's the Ubuntu version ?

3. hw 2 make a shortcut in e desktop 2 a folder in ubuntu? i tried makin a link... it worked 4 dat session but wen i restarts e machine it says dat link is mising... Y is dat? my destnation folder is in a seperate partition... cld dat b a reason?

if the partition is not mounted, when you click on the link, it will throw errors.
Best way for shorcuts is to use symbolic links.

ln -s /path/to/destination /path/to/shortcut

I don't have deep experience in Fedora. But there is a 100% FREE Binary compatiable RHEL clone with full package list. That is CentOS. CentOS also running on RPM and YUM base.

I'm using CentOS 5.2 for my email/web/proxy/samba servers, It's working fine as a server based OS.

Was thinking about that

If I right a Linux blog in Sinhala, it will look like shit. ex: firefox (ගිනිහිවලා) thunderbird (මේඝපක්ශි) seamonkey (මුහුදු වදුරා) multiget බහුගැනීම and most confusing of all ubuntu (උබුන්ටු)

I'm thinking about starting all-sinhalease one from my non-tech blog http://malshanpeiris.wordpress.com/ which is sensible to write in sinhala.

why don't you write a sinhala blog ? hv a try

We hope to demonstrate the method to install , use , surf, plyng media with codecs and how to configure modems. But the main prob is to find the suitable distribution for that. We have two selected Fedora and Ubuntu. We hope to do edit and make a new distro in future (not in dis year)
