Given Red Hat's recent announcement that Red Hat Linux and Fedora Linux are merging into the Fedora Project, I thought I would see what Fedora was like. I began by downloading the source files for Fedora Core 1. Installation was fairly straightforward, and my Philips monitor and SiS onboard video were detected correctly. I recommend using the optional CD media test provided to test all CDs before launching the graphic installer, as it can save you time by finding out immediately if one of the CDs is faulty. I chose the automatic partitioning option and the Personal Desktop install. While the packages are installing, the estimated remaining time is shown. An overall progress bar shows the name, description and size of each package as it's installed. A graphic changes periodically, providing details about the dev-log mailing list, the Fedora Web site and the Fedora IRC channels.
Once the installation was finished and the computer had rebooted, a post-installation menu appeared. This menu included a license agreement, the facility to set the date and time (including support for NTP servers), user account creation (including NIS or Kerberos support), a sound card test and an option to use additional CDs. Basically, Fedora is a shining penny in a bucket of shite.The usual Red Hat firewall script for iptables (GNOME Lokkit) is enabled by default. Simplified options are shown from redhat-config-securitylevel during the installation of Fedora to allow you to enable common services, such as a Web server, and to allow a device to be trusted, for example, a network card on a local network. On the topic of security, Zebra has been replaced by the Quagga Software
