Riding the Rocket: A CEOâs Look at Fedora 13 âGoddardâ

,----[ Quote ]
| I also like the more polished desktop look 
| and feel. Menus are simpler and more 
| consistent thanks to the work of the Fedora 
| Desktop team. The Fedora Design team has also 
| been hard at work in making the icons in the 
| default installation match a single look and 
| feel. Iâm looking forward to trying out other 
| desktop features in Fedora 13 including its 
| solutions for scanning, microblogging and 
| photo management. (Heading on vacation soon, 
| and plan to take a lot of pics!) Iâm able to 
| rely on Fedora to just work out of the box 
| more than ever before.

First look: Fedora 13 from Red Hat

| The installation was quick and painless, and 
| the subsequent reboot was extremely fast and 
| clean -- from POST screen to login screen 
| within 10 seconds.

Fedora 13

,----[ Quote ]
| In short, Fedora 13 leaves once again a good 
| impression. For professionals, has better 
| performance than other popular distributions 
| and for home users Ubuntu or Linux Mint which 
| are perhaps more intuitive to begin working 
| with Linux. Only regret, too long and 
| unworthy startup time of a modern Linux 
| distribution. But in the world of Linux, 
| personal taste matters more.

In orbit over Fedora 13

,----[ Quote ]
| But having said this, there are a couple of 
| caveats that require mentioning â personal 
| ones that really donât take anything away 
| from Fedora 13âs shine. Pet peeve number one: 
| No GIMP on the install. Easily installable 
| upon completion of the installation, I know, 
| but still.

| There were not a lot of vast changes in

Fedora 13 - interview and first look

,----[ Quote ]
| In general, I like the way the Fedora team
| approaches security. The installer insists
| on setting a root password and creating a
| regular user account. The distro enables
| SELinux out of the box and has convenient
| tools for managing SELinux policies. I like
| that encrypting partitions in the installer
| is very easy and intuitive. On the live CD
| edition, the firewall is enabled and
| OpenSSH turned off, though the firewall
| port for SSH is left open in case the user
| wishes to turn on the service later. The
| only quirk I found was non-root users had
| the ability to reboot or halt the machine.
| This probably isn't an issue for people
| logged in locally; after all it would be
| annoying to have to switch to the root
| account just to shut down the computer you
| are sitting in front of. However, the
| regular user accounts can also halt the
| machine remotely if secure shell is enabled
| without suing to root, a potential problem
| for the unaware admin.
|
| For the most part, Fedora 13 feels very
| similar to Fedora 12, a stable, modern and
| well put-together operating system.
| However, there are some things which stood
| out that I feel the need to complain about.
| Generally I don't like to focus on hardware
| compatibility, but Fedora 13 was a big
| regression for me, especially on the
| laptop. It took more resources, performed
| slower than the last release and didn't
| work with some of the hardware Fedora 11
| and 12 handled previously. Forcing users to
| download the entire DVD to choose their
| root file system is also, in my opinion, a
| poor design choice, one other distros with
| live CDs have avoided. Those problems
| aside, I generally liked my time with the
| latest Fedora, the project provides a good
| balance of new software with tried and true
| configuration tools. Worth a look if you're
| interested in trying new technology or
| would like to experience a polished SELinux
| implementation.

Fedora core linux 13 âgoddardâ mini review

,----[ Quote ]
| The Fedora Project has been running since
| 2003 after Red Hat Linux was discontinued.
| With Red Hat Enterprise Linux being Red
| Hatâs official distribution, the Fedora
| project has since 2003 catered to the needs
| of the average desktop user looking to run
| a stable and free operating system which
| did everything he wanted and more.
| Distrowatch rates Fedora as the second most
| popular Linux based operating system after
| Ubuntu.
