Fedora-based Linux Distro Korora (Version 25) Now Available For Download (betanews.com)

BrianFagioli writes: If you want to use Fedora but do not want to spend time manually installing packages and repos, there is a solid alternative -- Korora. Despite the funny-sounding name, it is a great way to experience Fedora in a more user-friendly way. Wednesday, version 25, code-named 'Gurgle', became available for release.

I don't understand the reason for this

How does Korora know what packages I need installed?

The NSA gathers that information for them.

The same way Slashdot knows that I've been shopping for whole-house water filters, and presents me with ads for them on Slashdot pages. It starts to feel a bit creepy sometimes...

Actually, that's not what it does. If you glance at their site, what they do is select one package for each major function, but make alternatives available in their repos. Actually, I've noticed that it seems to have become something of a 'selling' point for distros these days - "Only one app installed for each funtion".

Quite frankly, it's morethan a little arrogant to claim that it is almost inexcusable for someone to be using a 32-bit only CPU in 2016. WTF am I supposed to do with my (admittedly ancient) Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook? The 120 GB HDD is basically 4x the capacity of the eMMC in my HP Stream 11. And, that 120GB HDD multiboots Win XP, Fedora Mate Rawhide, and Ubuntu Mate 16.04. I happen to prefer Mate to XFCE and LXDE, but those DEs also run just fine. With only 1GB of non-expandable RAM, the ZG5 is somewhat limited in its capabilities. However, as a netbook. I find it adequate.
