Fedora Project Turns 10

darthcamaro writes "It was ten years ago this past Sunday September 22nd, that the Red Hat sponsored Fedora project was born. The first Fedora release didn't come until six weeks later in November of 2003. Over the last 10 years the project has transformed itself from being entirely controlled by Red Hat to being a true community effort. In a video interview, the current Fedora Project Leader, Robyn Bergeron talks about the past and the future of Fedora. 'We need to think about how we're actually making the sausage,' Bergeron said. 'I think we can try and abstract and automate the things we have to do a lot, so our really awesome people's brains can be applied to solving problems that aren't yet automate-able.'"

10 years, now I feel old

I remember installing the first Fedora on my Pentium 4 machine with 1G of RAM.

Ten years ago!? Say it ain't so. Feels like only yesterday.

Doesn't sound like you know what you're talking about, bro. Fedora has the most bleeding edge shit of any distro but of course at the expense of stability and compatibility...maybe you installed Debian by accident or something.

Re:Building nVidia drivers for Fedora Core

Yikes! If it were that complex, I'd have dropped Fedora already. It's a bit simpler than that, luckily...

yum install akmod-nvidia

As long as you have kernel-devel, akmod will build your driver when you boot your new kernel.
