The first boot went fine too, all services got up and running correctly, and creating new users also worked great.įedora Core comes with Gnome 2.4.0 (plus some 2.4.0.1 updated packages), Mozilla 1.4.1, Gaim 0.71, OOo 1.1, XMMS 1.2.8, KOffice, Gimp 1.2.x, gThumb 2.0.2 (pretty outdated version), Epiphany 1.0.4 and many hundreds of other packages. The betas had the same problem too, but Red Hat Linux 8 and 9 did not have that problem at all on the same hardware. Resetting the machine and re-trying worked fine (with warm boot). The only problem I had with the installation was that the first time I booted to install the distro (with cold boot) X would die a few seconds after Anaconda would load. Later, the included GTKam utility worked fine with my husband’s USB Kodak DC265 camera too.
My monitor was in their database it correctly found all the horizontal/vertical information, the Nvidia graphics card was auto-detected as well (only in 2-D mode), and loaded the OHCI driver for my TI Firewire PCI card. I believe that Fedora’s installer is both easy to use and powerful and succeeds in satisfying both power and casual users. Red Hat is a market leader and following the market leader assures the least trouble for most users. Red Hat’s Linux is still one of my favorite distributions because of one main reason: compatibility with Linux software. Fedora Core 1 has been out now for a few days now and many faithful Linux fans have already installed it.
