Swapping Red Hat for a Fedora

Eugenia Loli 2004-03-03 Fedora Core 35 Comments

"When asked about Fedora, I’ve always offered the same response – it’s meant for those who want to stay on the bleeding edge of Linux development. I feel that Fedora is more a change of concept and mindset for Red Hat users and developers rather than being merely a Linux distribution." Read the review at Star-TechCentral.

Fedora Core 2-test1: A Good Start Down a Long Road

Guest post by Robert Trembath 2004-02-18 Fedora Core 50 Comments

Couldn't stop myself from trying the new Fedora 2-test1 release, even if it is an alpha! The 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2 and Gnome 2.5 all in the same release was just to much candy to turn away from; too bad it's more sour rather than sweet at this (beta) point than I would have expected.

Review of Fedora Core 2 Test 1

Submitted by Dave Whitinger 2004-02-17 Fedora Core 40 Comments

"Normally I don't review early test releases of software, but the opportunity to test drive Fedora's first distribution based on the 2.6 kernel was too irresistible to pass up. The conclusion: Bravo, Red Hat!"

Fedora Core 2 Schedule Posted

Submitted by Miki 2003-12-16 Fedora Core 41 Comments

Red Hat has an 'aggressive' schedule for Fedora Core 2. Red Hat considers two items absolutely "stop-ship" — that is, they will slip the release if necessary to include them. These two items are the 2.6 Linux kernel and SELinux functionality integrated into the distribution.

Review: Fedora Core 1 is a Mild Disappointment

Eugenia Loli 2003-11-13 Fedora Core 180 Comments

Fedora Core 1 has been out now for a few days now and many faithful Linux fans have already installed it. Red Hat's Linux is still one of my favorite distributions because of one main reason: compatibility with Linux software. Red Hat is a market leader and following the market leader assures the least trouble for most users. But is this the case with Fedora Core?

Getting to Know Fedora Core 1

Guest post by Niall C. Brady 2003-11-07 Fedora Core 96 Comments

I have installed Fedora Core 1 (Yarrow) to see what has changed between it and Red Hat Linux 9 and to get a feel for this new and powerful Linux operating system. For some people, the name Fedora will not be a familiar name, for others (Red Hat Linux or OS enthusiasts), Fedora could (In some ways) be considered to be the 'new' Red Hat Linux 9.x or 10 release, the not so long awaited sequel to Red Hat Linux 9, which came out in late March 2003. However, Fedora Core 1 is not Red Hat Linux 10 (as I try to explain below), and to quote from the front page of the Fedora Project website:

First Impressions and Screenshots from Fedora Core 1

After a few coasters because of the bad quality CDs we bought at Fry's for 8 bucks some time ago (avoid the "GQ, Great Quality" brand at all costs, they only seem to work well with selected burners no matter the burning speed used), I burned and installed Fedora Core 1 successfully. Update: Get mp3 support for your Fedora's XMMS 1.2.8 from here (mirror). Also, here are four screenshots:

Fedora Core Test 3 Review

Guest post by Jason Parker 2003-10-20 Fedora Core 96 Comments

Fedora Test 3, is, most certainly, as the name says, a test. In my experience there are a few problems and a few bugs that would keep me from recommending it as an everyday desktop replacement, but nonetheless, Fedora is an Operating System (distro) worth watching out.
