Fedora 12 Review and Commentary
,----[ Quote ]
| There is a great third party product for
| Fedora called Easy Life that you can
| download that installs and configures a
| ton of settings by default for you (ubuntu
| users may compare it to the deceased
| automatix).
|
| It does the following:
|
| * Sets "sudo" command up for your
| regular user;
| * Configures RPMFusion repository for
| extra and non-free software;
| * Installs Flash Player plugin;
| * Installs all kinds of multimedia
| Codecs (h264,divx,xvid,mp3 etc);
| * Installs additional fonts;
| * Installs Skype;
| * Installs Sun Java and Sun Java
| Plugin for Firefox;
| * Integrates Sun Java with system-
| switch-java;
| * Installs Google apps (Picasa,
| Desktop);
| * And many others...

Fedora 12, upgrade or fresh-install?
,----[ Quote ]
| Upgrade seems to be a better option when
| you have a lot of stuff installed on your
| system and you don't want to restore
| configurations for all of them after a
| fresh install.

Tip of the hat: Fedora 12 a strong update
,----[ Quote ]
| We asked him if there are any particularly
| interesting new features in the Fedora 12
| release that haven't been extensively
| highlighted by reviews. One example that
| he thinks deserves a closer look is the
| new automated bug reporting feature that
| makes it easier for users to help identify
| problems. This is an example of how Fedora
| is lowering the barriers to entry for new
| contributors and making the development
| process more inclusive in simple ways.

Fedora 12 Installation and Post Installation Guide
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 12, codenamed Constantine, is
| released! Just for the info, Fedora is an
| RPM based Linux Distribution, an Operating
| System in other words, developed by the
| community supported Fedora Project and
| sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora contains only
| free and Open Source software. Some of
| Fedora's 12 new features are Gnome 2.28,
| KDE 4.3, better web cam support!, and many
| others. Finally presto is enabled by
| default which means smaller updates to be
| downloaded and faster updates also!

Interview: Fedora Mini maintainer Peter Robinson
,----[ Quote ]
| Q1. Can you talk a bit about your work
| with the OLPC/Geode? Was the OLPC's
| decision to move to ARM related to your
| interest in bringing Moblin support to
| Fedora Mini?
|
| A1. I got involved in OLPC through the
| original request for interest about a
| Fedora for Small Devices to the main
| fedora-devel mailing list. I originally
| started looking at reducing dependencies
| in Fedora so it would more easily fit in
| small spaces, and was looking at GNOME
| Mobile and Hildon for MID style devices. I
| was already a package maintainer of a
| number of packages useful to smaller
| devices. One of the Fedora people (Jeremy
| Katz from memory) involved in OLPC
| directed me towards the Fedora-OLPC
| inititive to get their changes upstream,
| and asked if I was interested in helping
| out as they were doing similar things and
| could do with some help. I was hooked.

| Virtualization has been a big push this
| year for Linux vendor Red Hat (NYSE: RHT).

| virtualization features ever since. In
| Fedora 12, the open source Linux community
| project is adding new technology to improve
