Hii
very simple solution for beginers like us is to use fedora project
forum
open mozila firefox in fedora and you'll find "fedora project" as
bookmark thr
and you'll see link for forum in the menu
open fedora FAQ in the forum
its a beginners guide

btw before using YUM for any kind of installation add livna repository
to yum repos list
livna is the best one...you will find all pckgs in it
just look for its rpm on internet and install it...


hope the info above is useful
chao

yeah a name change is crucial information. Wouldnt want to be lost in
the woods without knowing that they dropped 'core' from their name!

What is Fedora?

Fedora is all about freedom and rapid innovation.

Fedora is a Linux based operating system that provides users with access to the latest free and open source software, in a stable, secure and easy to manage form. We strongly believe in the bedrock principles that created all the components of our operating system, and because of this we guarantee that Fedora will always be free for anybody, anywhere, to use, modify and distribute.

Fedora is a center for innovation in free and open source software, and creates a community where developers and open source enthusiasts come together to advance free and open source software. The Fedora community contributes everything it builds back to the free and open source world and continues to make advances of significance to the broader community, as evidenced by the regular and rapid incorporation of its features into other Linux distributions.

Fedora is more than just software, though. It is a community of contributors from around the world who work with each other to advance the interests of the free culture movement. Everyone is invited to join, and no matter what your skills are, we have a place for you in our community! The Fedora community includes software engineers, artists, system administrators, web designers, writers, speakers, and translators -- all of whom will be happy to help you get started.

Thanks shashank, this was a better reply!!

:)

actually forums are best places to share info, which has'nt been documented formally, and this account of experience, from forums, blogs etc, counts a lot. at least my PS station survives coz of the information from forums and blogs. :)

and its great to see this forum working!!... though after a year..
