How do you use Fedora?
by the editorial team
Paul Frields, Fedora Project Leader, asks:
Fedora is being used in a hundred thousand interesting places out in the real world.
* At NASA to do analysis that makes future space exploration safer.
* In studies to improve development for children with Down’s Syndrome (trisomy 21).
* At Creative Commons, to promote open content discovery, creation, and remixing.
* Powering distribution of food to the needy in Mexico.
We want to hear a story about how YOU use Fedora to do something interesting. Enriching. Educational. Enhancing. At work or in your community. How did Fedora help you achieve something special? Just reply in a comment to [his] blog.

Here, at the Federal University of Medical Sciences, we support our website, moodle, dns and everything that is related to our network services with Fedora. And we expected to stay like this for a long time.

I use Fedora as my personal, my work, and my school computer. As an undergraduate engineering student, Fedora has made trivial many tasks which would be insurmountable under Windows, or even some other distributions. I use Fedora for CFD, airfoil design, document preparation with LaTeX, powerful numerical simulations with FORTRAN, sophisticated interactive data acquisition programs with MATLAB, graphic design with Inkscape and GIMP, and much more.
I also assist in the administration of a predominantly Red Hat Enterprise Linux computer lab; my experience with Fedora as my everyday OS has had a great impact on my Red Hat administration-related tasks.
When I’m not working, Fedora is still currently my distro of choice. I use it for a music and movie server, for encoding movies and DVDs, general browsing, leisurely programming, and a game of Nexuiz here and there. :)
