Fedora

Debian, Fedora, MEPIS, Mint, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Xandros, the list of desktop Linuxes goes on and on, and maybe that's one of its biggest problems.

There are all kinds of differences between the two, but a major one, which often gets over-looked, is that Linux is in a constant state of evolution, while Windows moves 'forward' in a series of year-long steps. Here's what that means for you.

I really like Linux, but why is it so hard to find documentation on removing it and why is it so hard to actually do it?

Red Hat's Fedora is regaining its reputation as being a top Linux distribution. Here's how it happened.

There are good ways to pick up Linux, and then there are some really bad ones. Here's my pick of the top three Linux ways for a newbie to start using Linux.

You may not see it, but we've already had several years of the Linux desktop. In fact, if you think about it, almost all of you, even those of you who would never leave Windows, are already using Linux desktop applications every day.

In today's podcast: EFF blasts Apple's takedown of iPodhash; YouTube gives Japanese content makers way to make money; and Fedora 10 released, offers improvements.

Fedora 10 is here and it already looks like a great cutting-edge, not bleeding-edge, Linux distribution.

It's great that Red Hat and Novell can make money from Linux, but you can run your business on Linux and not spend a dime on commercial Linux.

Linux is more secure than most operating systems, but Not if you don't practice basic security measures

A few days back, Red Hat's Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora servers were broken into. We still don't know how it was done.

What Linux should a tried and true Windows' user try?

You gotta love it. Microsoft has decided that it will ho ahead and kill off easy access to XP on June 30th. On behalf of desktop Linux users everywhere, and our first cousins, the Mac fans, thanks. You've given us the best shot we'll ever have of taking the desktop.

It's IT Blogwatch: in which we take a headgear-flavored gander at Fedora 9. Not to mention why we hate smug, self-satisfied Apple Macintosh users...

Todd R. Weiss reports:

Has it only been 6 months since Fedora 8's debut? This new version promises a host of cool new features, including much easier deployment on USB thumb drives.
