What is required to get fedora and get it installed on a usb 16 gig digital drive?
May 16th, 2008 at 12:01 am
Hi,
I have installed opensuse + vista.
Last night i tried to install fedora.(I have used fedora 3,4 till 8)
After installing it,my opensuse is gone. There are only two os, fedora n vista.
I wonder why my opensuse’s boot is wiped out or overwritten?
I gave a clean partition for fedora’s boot partition.
Anyway thanks for the FREE os.
Best,
Thi Ha

I love fedora keep going :)

Fedora in my opinion is one of the best Linux Distros, it is still techie enough to be worth while…my only complaint is the lack of full fledged release notes on changes from previous releases… but it is awesome that a product so good is free.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
We’ve been using Fedora since Core 1. We’ve tried many flavours of Linux ranging from “true red” all the way to bastardized RedHat, aka Mandrake (eew!), and in the end Fedora has proven to be on track for our needs in both personal and business arenas. With a Wiley Bible in hand and the latest Fedora version loaded, we feel unstoppable. We’re very excited to use the current new release and hope to see many more in the future! Thanks to all the developers!
May 16th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
wifi on my notebook not working (in ver.8 it worked), not supported .MP3 , selinux should be turned off someone want to use it,… I think this is still beta version.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
I’m so ready for Fedora Core 9. I’ve used Fedora in the past (Back to Core 2) and I enjoyed it. I always viewed it as more of a desktop operating system. I’m really excited about the new features and especially the network manager. I’ll have to give this a try on my laptop!
May 16th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
I love Fedora, and Red Hat Linux 6 was my first linux OS, I ever used. Thank you for this great OS!!
May 16th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Great Free OS, Fedora its makinkg a great way to developers, keep doing this fantastic OS
May 16th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Great video Paul!!
Fedora 9 RULEZZ!!
May 16th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Hello,I am a fedora user from fedora core4 to fedora9 beta,
but for my bad computer and bad network connect,It make me feel boring about using fedora*,because it to slow for me,and really not easy to use if I could not connect the internet ,so I have to wait a new computer for fedora*,may be its the time for me to find a good job!
May 17th, 2008 at 3:40 am
i am trying to start learn the fedora but i dont know where to start.is there any best way to get started
May 17th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Bipin,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview is a good place to start.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:00 am
Chris,
“my only complaint is the lack of full fledged release notes on changes from previous releases…”
I don’t know any other distribution or even any other OS that provides more comprehensive release notes in as many languages as Fedora really. Refer
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/
We also update the release notes post-release in the website and also through the fedora-release-notes package in the distribution. If you have specific issues to address, your feedback on that is quite welcome. The release notes itself has information on the best way to do that.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:57 am
Just started with Fedora (about a month ago) and absolutely love it!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!

Fedora is the easiest and simplest.
May 17th, 2008 at 10:56 am
hi i m using various linux distro’s from last two years and thinks that the fedora is best in them….
fedora 9 is yet another landmark in this way ….
thanks for giving such a nice distro…
May 17th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Hi, I am curious about linux operating sys. and, was wondering if it is possible to just run fedora 9 without having any other operating sys. previously installed on a computer.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
James,
Yes you could. You can use for example, one of the live cd’s listed at http://get.fedoraproject.org and boot off it. The entire operating system runs off the cd and does not require anything preinstalled on the system.
If you do like it, it provides a desktop icon to install to hard disk too. Try it out and give us your feedback.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Hi, Love Fedora 9 os only thing is, I wish it supported more wireless drivers. My wireless card works on my laptop with Ubuntu but not with Fedora. I would rather be running Fedora all the time with the wireless card.
Thanks Fedora team!
May 17th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Aaron,
Have you filed a bug report in http://bugzilla.redhat.com?
Red Hat employs the upstream Linux kernel wireless subsystem maintainer and has always included the latest wireless bits in Fedora kernel. Unfortunately a number of distributions use proprietary drivers which can be a short term advantage for them but delays the long term work done in the Linux kernel. Fedora has chosen not to do that.
May 17th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Fedora is Awesome OS,
I have been using fedora 8 for the last 6 months with vista ultimate version. I really like Fedora than the bulky and buggy vista. I don’t know how to upgrade to fedora 9
thanks guys
keep on

Hi Fedora Team and Fedora lovers, I was using fedora for the past one year fedora core 6 and red hat 9 is my first free os. I’m feeling great and proud of using this FOSS Fedora. From fedora core 6 till fedora 9, the os is providing great features. In my usage, these OSes never hangs. And vista is just a copy of fedora linux. Use Fedora and save the nation!
May 17th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Fedora is cool - I run Vista x64 and Fedora on my machine, love them both. But I mostly only play with Fedora and work in Vista. once .net support is huge, I will be all about linux!
May 18th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Hello, Fedora is an innovative Operating System.It has enabled people who can not afford to purchase a proprietary Operating System to use the latest Technology with resonable Hardware requirements and all of this is available for free. Such a noble work .
There is a comment that is left by someone called Mostafa and it would be a pleasurable experience to introduce yourself to me Mostafa .
Thanks
May 18th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I have been using fedora for a couple years now and it it the prettiest, most functional, and user friendly distro out there. i have tried many others and they all let me down greatly. Fedora is the only linux distro i would use from now in. I cant wait to try fedora 9. keep up the amazing work.
May 18th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
we Love fedora … go go open source is the fututre.
May 18th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
I’m proud user of fedora, it serves me very well - with it’s pretty stable base, and with the feeling that is “in one piece” everytime. So thank you that made it again, I hope I can continue always the bug hunting - to in return get even more better and better Fedora Desktop. I always awaiting new artwork (without nice boring blueish theme), new icons, and possibility to get support for open hardware - like openmoko, or Fedora mobile… I hope that Fedora X will be the eXciting to reach the Infinity.
Ps: Why is an beta software like Firefox b5 are included to an stable release??
May 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Just 5 days before the release of Fedora 9.
I just decided to give up with Windows XP Pro and installed Fedora 8 using the Live CD. Worked a lot better than I expected. Feels like I just bought a new computer.
I am really excited about Fedora 9 but I will hold off until I have a more complete Desktop setup then I shall switch to 9.
I would like to thank you all that developed Fedora(s).
Keep up the great work.

HI EVERYBODY. FEDORA LINUX IT’S REALLY NICE!!!. ITS VISUAL EFFECTS AND ITS USE IT’S MORE FAST THAN WINDOWS VISTA. I WOULD WISH THAT ADOBE CREATE SOFTWARES FOR THESE OS.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:39 am
hello all fedora team, admire all the way from forensic team, the only down part which i found was the installing of ADSL modems, worked about 2 days couldn’t do it, but still i believe fedora is the best.
best regards, keep the great work

Hi, I am so excited about fedora 9,I started back on red hat 7 till fedora core 3,then I left for a couple years,came back to fedora 8,and since then,I had an obsession about the new fedora 9,now,I finally have it.It’s awesome.With all my stuff working.. Oracle 11g,Netbeans… , I’m just still dissapointed about the wireless drivers support.. I guess still have to use a cutter as I did in fedora 8.. and my ATI propetary driver is broken in fedora 9.(it was working on fedora 8) still trying to find out how to take it back online.the other bad thing is the absence of pirut.though packagekit might be better in the inside.I still feel that pirut was better as it gave you the option to edit the repos links,with packagekit I have to manually edit the repo files. anyways.. I’m more than happy with my sulphur running in my Dell Inspiron Laptop. ALso I would like to participate in Fedora’s development.But seems like you don;t need development guys(guess that you have enough volunteers).Couldn’t find any vacancy :-( . However..I appreciate everyone’s efforts to make it real. Fedora 9.. just a part of my life. Cheers Guys
May 19th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I can’t wait to kick the tires on Fedora 9. I’ve been a huge fedora fan for many years now. I hope some of the install problems that existed in F8 have been resolved. Thank you to all the developers that put their blood and energy into building this kick ass distro!
May 19th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Fedora is the best distro to me .. it runs my ati card with no conflict .. no other distribution could even run it .. ((thanks fedora)) .. very nice work .. keep workin n im looking forward for everything new in GNU/Linux world
May 19th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
I installed Fedora 9 in my laptop. It is running great. The applications are great. I love the new Network Manager. However, I still have problem with wireless network connection. I used wpa_supplicant to connect to wireless network when I had Fedora 8. I could not use that successfully with Fedora 9 so far. However, I could connect to my school’s wireless network by Network Manager but it frequently gets disconnected. I could not connect to my home wireless network at all. But overall, Fedora 9 is great! I wish I could connect to wireless network everywhere with it!
May 20th, 2008 at 8:24 am
I’ve enjoyed using Fedora since Core 5 for PowerPC. It has been the best for me for providing up-to-date software packages through an easy download interface and provides the most robust hardware support on Mac PPC. It’s the only version my upgraded G4 tower would ever run! Ubuntu and openSUSE have both been less functional for me overall.
May 20th, 2008 at 8:51 am
I’ve been using fedora since the release of fc3 and I’ve really enjoyed my fedora experience. Now I’m running fedora 8 on my hp dv6636nr laptop computer, to my full satisfaction.
I’ve seen fedora 9 and loved it, but I will not switch until nvidia releases new drivers with xorg 1.5 support.
Anyway, fedora is a really great system. Keep up the good work!
May 20th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Dear All,
AOA,
I like fedora since it was not born. i dont like fedora 9 becoz i dont support laptops as good as old versions of fedora(1-8). ill hope fedora X (FX) will bring new face to OS.
Regards.

hi
a newbie to linux done a few qualifications on windows mcp mcdst server 2k3 etc etc
now doing net+ course
the practice labs we are doing require us to use a linux server, which is what has bought me here
i have looked at linux red hat core 4 desktop version
im now excited to look at and use on a egular basis the linux 9 server
with all the copmments above sounds interesting
let you know how i get on
real bonus is its free so thanx guys for developing such a thing without a huge cost goin to the likes of mr gates
May 21st, 2008 at 2:12 am
As a linux user for nearly a decade, Fedora 9 is not that well polished, it is still very buggy and doesn’t work well. Debian based such as Ubuntu is a better bet. Debian is more refined. THe first thing after installation is full of errors. Fedora guys are you guys really sleeping, please release something that works not a trash piece.
May 21st, 2008 at 8:42 am
Dear God,
Not sure what problems you’re running into. I’ve been using Fedora for a little while now and this is by far the best release I’ve seen come out. I’m running it on some old hardware from my early college days, an IBM ThinkPad X32 and a MacBook Pro as dual-boot. I’ve had no bugs, no installation worries, and no error messages. It just works.
Maybe you would like to file some errors and we can see what’s going on with your install. It’s just a step away to ask for help vs. trolling. I would love to know exactly what you’re running into and I’m sure the engineering team would love to hear as well.
Feel free! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests
I’m glad you’re happy with Ubuntu, but I can say, as someone who doesn’t know much about the ins and outs of Linux, I’m extremely happy with the new Fedora. And, yes, I’ve tried Ubuntu.
So, please please file a bug report and the Fedora community will get right on it. Trust me, it’ll even help you, as an Ubuntu user, in the long run. (Probably the short run, as well!)
Cheers,
Colby

I have been using Fedora/Red Hat since Red Hat 4.2. I have tried and used a few other distros (maybe ten), just for curiosity. But I have always embraced Fedora/Red Hat because of their stance on FOSS (Free Open Source Software) and usability. I was fairly disappointed with Fedora 8. But Fedora 9 is a VERY weak alpha release, I have un-installed it and returned to Fedora 8.
Those of you thinking of installing Fedora 9, my recommendation is DO NOT.
Red Hat I hope you are paying attention here because clearly the Fedora group is not.
May 21st, 2008 at 9:32 am
I have been using redhat since 6 and all the through to fedora 9. I love selinux especially in my firewall/router, but had to switch to ubuntu because dansguardian was dated. I had a samba/print server that I switched to ubuntu at f7 because samba/cups/print driver didn’t work after an upgrade. fedora has always been bleeding edge on many fronts and a lot of packages are not easy accessible or not supported. The new package manager is convoluted in f9 and not as intuitive and easy to use as in ubuntu. I would say that the primary switch from fedora to ubuntu was a result of these two issues. I still have one fedora box left out of 7. Long Term Support would be great for servers you didn’t want to upgrade constantly also. On the bright side I tried the live CD on a notebook that had problems connecting WPA2 wireless router in ubuntu, and f9 connected so fast that I was surprised. Fedora is my first love and it will remain so. Keep up the good work.
May 21st, 2008 at 2:43 pm
I’ve been using Red Hat OS’s since RH version 7 ! then came along Fedora(Core) which also was great(my favorite was FC6) and then they got to version 9!
F9 stinks! It has a beta version kernel with a beta version Xorg and that KDE 4 in my opinion should be considered to be in alpha stage ! Why release such a thing ? From an optimistic point of view i think that all of this will be corrected in Fedora 10 ! I think that I’ll wait for about 6 months and then try again :) (till then Gnome will be screwed up to! who knows?)
May 21st, 2008 at 2:50 pm
P.S.
Fedora 9 is a piece of thrash that looks great !
10 out of 10 points for the graphics team
May 21st, 2008 at 4:38 pm
WoW i guess trolling is in style again ;)
I have installed a test version of 9 and aside from a few issues mostly third party repo’s the base system itself is functioning flawlessly. My only issue that i had was with network manager, and that is easily solved.
So all in all great work guys, and continue innovating
May 21st, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Fedora is a poor distro. The terrible attitude of the maintainers and community members is what is keeping Fedora behind Ubuntu.
Go to the Fedora Forums and witness the countless numbers of unanswered and ignored posts. Fedora 8 was a crap distro and Fedora 9 will be no exception.
May 21st, 2008 at 7:51 pm
I can’t tell you how poor of a distro Fedora is. I have found Fedora 8 to be unstable as hell on numerous different machines with varying chipsets and hardware and the only thing that Fedora is good at is crashing and locking up.
It is by far the worst distro I have ever tried. In fact, I’m writing this post right now from a Fedora 8 box that is a total piece of junk.
May 21st, 2008 at 10:51 pm
I own a Hp tx1232la laptop. Hope this distro is more friendly than the ones before it. (Home Redhat user since RH8, had to chage to Ubuntu after I changed mi laptop.)
If anyone knows how to make the touchscreen work in Fedora 9, please email me to juanconstrictor@gmail.com with the solution .
I think one of the biggest problems that linux must take in charge is how to reach the home users that doesn´t have a developed tech knowledge, that for that reason uses windows.
May 21st, 2008 at 11:01 pm
I use Red Hat software since Red hat 6, now i use Fedora 8 in my office pc, my laptop, my homepc and 2 servers..
I installed Fedora 9 just for test in a blank HDD but im not going to migrate until the video drivers are released… in the case of my homepc.. my servers and my office pc as well are being upgraded. I dont use visual effects there.. on the servers i dont use even graphical mode.. only text.
for me, i have used slackware (still old even the newst version), Debian (didnt like it, they copy alot of things from REd hat and i love Fedora.! i even have my sticker of Redhat and Fedora in my car ehehe…
keep up the good work
May 22nd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Great 1st impression? About the 1st thing I did after installation of FC9 for the 1st time (after installing the almost-immediately suggested security updates) was to fire up Firefox to see if I could browse. Default page was here, offering the vid clip, which I tried to run. That failed, insisting that I needed a plugin and offering to install it. Turned out to be Adobe Flash something, which ended up failing its installation due to a source file being “malformed,” and suggesting that I whine at the vendor about it. I’m glad none of my MAC-loving acquaintances were watching - you know, the fudds that insist that everything they run “just works….” Oh well.
Maybe I should try something simple - like a simple text editor.
May 22nd, 2008 at 7:36 pm
i start using Unix since 1986 with DEC, but now with Fedora, and i dont know if somebody can imagine the great gift with this, i start using linux the first time when i get the floppy disks with the first version when i get those disks in Dec.1993, “uknw”
But really all this time was a great experience on all this years and i cant beleive that i was working with a 286 and 386 pc’s that times, is great that more people could access all this and more people explore more, create freely and freely developing. in the past i saw great rocks using UNix when i was young, and now i see in the sky starts as people experiencing this. this is a great part of the life living with this and sharing in a world where the Freely and the Money can sharing domains. but really, im specting more to arrive and every time most faster.
Congratulations i was one of the many that was connected day by day specting that realese the fedora9 to install .
great experience, i feel young .
thanks .
May 23rd, 2008 at 7:37 am
Awesome! Started up Firefox in my new Fedora installation. Wow, there’s a video from the project leader. Went to play. No dice, it’s Flash.
WTF
Man I hate Linux companies that hate free/open source software. What an insult!!!
It’s a sign of extremely bad management that even the Fedora project doesn’t have faith in free software. Guess I won’t be using Fedora.
May 23rd, 2008 at 8:38 am
I think you need to re-examine your definition of “free.” The Fedora project does not hate “free,” they dislike proprietary. SAme thing goes with wmv, mov, mp3, etc etc.
For something a little better and closer to “free,” try gnash to play your flash.
As long as you promote proprietary codecs and standards, you’ll never be truly free.
May 23rd, 2008 at 11:08 am
Installed Fedora 9 and was annoyed that Mozilla defaulted to offline and it couldn’t attach to the network. However, just a quick read of this guide (for after installation) cleared up my problems. It is a great resource!
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f9.html
Fedora 9 managed to install in my Dell laptop - something my Fedora 8 couldn’t - so there is progress!
Great effort Fedora 9 team
May 24th, 2008 at 12:11 am
Always have and always will be using Fedora. Great distro, keep up the good work.
May 24th, 2008 at 11:24 am
im lovin fedora 9 also but cant seem to install missing plugins for watching video over the net
May 27th, 2008 at 7:05 am
My teacher and my brother name Muhammad Kamran he tells me about the linux first time and help me so much abt this we use fedora and this is really great OS as a FREE is helping the community to grwo.
May 27th, 2008 at 8:34 am
I am still new to Fedora. Been using it since FC6. I installed it on my laptop a few years ago dual booting with Windows XP. Ever since, I never booted XP again.
All Windows users are heretic.
The only problem I’ve encountered with all Fedora releases is that my Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook freezes my computer, wether it’s inserted at boot, before boot or during runtime..
May 28th, 2008 at 8:15 am
Fedora Rulez!
May 28th, 2008 at 9:35 am
My PC is old and I cannot use all functions and features of Fedora like BT, Wireless Networking and Live USB and so on. I like to use them. I’m sure that when I buy new PC, I will use Fedora on it. I have used Fedora since FC6 till 9. I really love Fedora and I’m still exiting what is new release and it’s look and feel in future.
Thank you very much indeed to all developers and testers and everyone who is improving Fedora.
I love Fedora!! :-)
May 28th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
This is the first time I have installed Fedora. I mostly use Ubuntu. But this time i wanted a change. I hope fedora can fit in my space :)
May 28th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Ubuntu kicks Fedora’s ass!
May 28th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Fedora 9 is my first linux OS I am learning and found it to be absolutely great.
Thank you Redhat for making Fedora 9.
Once you use linux and learn a few basics you’ll never go back into the windows darkness.
May 29th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
So, when I try to watch the video with gnash on my Fedora 9 system, nothing happens.
If I try to use, swfdec, I get a pop-up message saying that I can’t play it because Fedora only supports free formats and can’t provide the out-of-the-box support for proprietary videos like this one… then the codec buddy offers to install the fluendo package for me. But, the installation fails because I have to go to the web page and pay for it first…
Guess I’ll try again with Adobe?
May 29th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Yup, Adobe works great. Look, I don’t mean to be too negative, and in general I’m very happy with Fedora, but maybe a Flash video isn’t the best format for getting the word out, if you have to install proprietary software to view it. I realize there’s a download link, and the video is pretty cool with the old movie clips and everything, but still it seems like RedHat magazine should be able to come up with a format that a fresh install of F9 will support, especially if the video is going to be posted on the default home page in firefox.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:32 am
For everybody lamenting about Flash files, note that there is a link to a ogg file download for a good reason. So use that instead.
May 31st, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Fedora is the illness!!! 1337 4 3V4!!!@@@!!!!!

I still like Fedora 7 better, it was more Beautiful color wise; even though that isnt the purpose..Lol
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:02 am
Hi ,excuse me ,
and does FC9 support Intel ICH10 chipset ?
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Fedora 9 is the best linux I ever used. Using fedora/Redhat from RH 5.02 :)
I am impressed with that one. I have also tried SuSe & Ubuntu, but nothing can replace Fedora
June 3rd, 2008 at 2:30 am
Fedora 9 id dam smart OS. i love it very much.
June 3rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Fedora is great Linux distribution! It’s nice to see how Fedora community can tweak Operating System to be so fast and still get whole system to work so great! It is great to see that Fedora has got more bleeding edge what other distribution are afraid to use!
ps. OS is the thing what is between hardware and Applications/GUI. The system is not the OS ;)
June 4th, 2008 at 4:17 am
I am a well seasoned Unix System Administrator / Programmer (30 + years) and have been using Red Hat thru Fedora-9 for various reasons. The first reason is at my home site where I need the best security I can get without having to try to stay ahead of the hackers. Fedora meets that challenge. Next reason is that there have been and still is special problems within my company (and previous company’s) that suddenly are faced with a problem that needs immediate attention and of course there is a limited budget. Linux and or Fedora has always came through and solved the problem. I have many more success story’s but this is not the place to share them in detail.
I have read the 79 comments and to those that are having problems, I suggest to ask for help from the Fedora group. It has been my experience that help is quick, and considerate, and you are not left hanging out there in hopes that you will go away.
Thanks to a great group of people (Linux and Fedora) that has made my job easier and of course more fun.

I want to use Fedora with Java for my AP Comp Science students. This way they can move from home to school with a familiar environment in which to work. I have installed Fedora 9 on a USB–It works great. I have installed Fedora 9 on a DVD–It works great. So how do I get the Java and our Gridworld Jar file loaded? I have tried to install Linux Java from the Fedora System command line on these media but I just get errors. I really would appreciate your help. This puts the programming power into the hands of all my students. EJ

After reading these last 82 comments I just want to tell everyone that a lot of how any os works has to do with your hardware and your electricity. I live in Israel. I have friends all over the world. Windows systems tend to crash a lot in Israel and that is why there is a big effort to develop Linux here, not because it is free though that helps. Our power is 220 to 240, not 110 like America. We have power surges and brown outs a lot more than some other countries. The average mother board dies here with Windows in 2.5 to 3 years. Those nice little surge protectors burn out pretty fast here. Considering we make much less money than people in many other countries it is a big expense to replace or buy new. My friend in France tells me the situation is similar there. Linux in any form works better here though I don’t know why. I have this particular mother board for four years already using Linux for the last two. I have been using Ubuntu but my son the computer genius told me to try out openSUSE 10.3 and fedora core 9. He just installed Fedora 9 on his office computer and told me it is eye candy. But as I said he is a genius. I will check it out and tell you what I think from an old lady’s point of view as soon as I can. I like the idea of the usb nondestructive system though I can’t imagine it would work on all hardware. The other thing is that although the proprietary codecs are not going away so soon, the fact is that if we use more and more of the non-proprietary codes the manufacturers of hardware will have to make hardware to our needs. We see this a lot in Europe and the Middle East. If more people are using Linux eventually there will be Linux drivers for many hardware components and OGG players not just mp3 players. I don’t think it will be so far away either. A few letters to manufacturers also helps. About half of the printers available now have Linux drivers. Windows has had its day in the sun. Linux is growing because it is practical.

how to change gdm to kdm in FC9,
June 10th, 2008 at 11:51 am
ok i have been a user from Fc7 and loved #7 i am currently using fedora 8 on my pc thats all im running but i have both kde 4.1 Fc9 i686 and 64 bit versions of the live cd and love it too. so all i have to say is that for the Fedora Team to keep working hard and never stop hope the new double digit will kick some major A$$ and also micr0$ofT is releasing a new os called windows 7 lets see what g8es’ can steal now.
he’s not a programmer hes a buisiness man and a thief.
harsh huh

I have been using RedHat product since RedHat 7.2 as a free server solution, Rh8, Rh9 and i had a little unfortunate break and i had no idea about Fedora for a while since i moved and had not internet connection, and i was very surprised when 1 day accidentally i got FC3 and i am using Fedora since then both home and server use. On server side i don’t really see a good side since fedora releases too fast and it is hard to keep up, but for home use or even portable use with F9 now is perfect.
June 14th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I have been using fedora since f3 and I must say that fedora is an excellent distro. I was using opensuse 10.3 just before I installed fedora 9, and wanted to get rid of it coz opensuse is very much windows-like. I have also used fedora 8 but it didnt have drivers for my webcam, had some problems with bluetooth and with f9 they are gone. Webcam works fine, and bluetooth too. I can use my webcam in linux now. fedora 9 really rocks!!!! keep up the gud work guys..

Hello,I am a fedora user from fedora 1.
It is “my distribution” [from RedHat 3].
But now, I cannot continue to use Fedora 9.
It have not no grafic driver for my ThinkPad Z61m.
Now, I MUST use another distribution :-[
New Xorg in F9 without drivers is not so good idea, I think.
I want to use and help Fedora project, but I cannot now.
My computer and external LCD is not working now… :-[[

Hello, I am a linux user and I love the fedora very much.
In Fedora 9 windows partitions are appeared in Linux Desktop and really I love this. I think in Fedora 10, Can you please provide me any DVD players and also some mp3 players.

I tried both Ubuntu Hardy Heron and Fedora 9 in a Windows/Linux dual-boot set up on my Lenovo T61 laptop with the installation DVD.
Installation was straight forward for both distros but Sulphur wasn’t quite as easy as Hardy Heron.
Wireless capability has always lagged on Fedora and continues to do so with Fedora 9. However the Ubuntu release was less robust for my wired connection at work (automounter didn’t work with NIS) and I ended up sticking with Fedora 9 Sulphur. Finally, the colour scheme for Fedora is much nicer than the ugly browns you get with Ubuntu.
All in all Fedora 9 is an excellent release and continues to make progress in it’s traditionally weak areas of installation ease, wireless capability, and user friendliness. Keep up the good work!
June 19th, 2008 at 12:34 am
Hello,
How can i get FC9.
While i update the FC8 using net conncetion,I found the Boot loader is giving Two boot selection for Fedora .How i can cancel these ,only i want one updated.
I Learnt the fedora It is good enough with picture and video quality and it such a impressive one so i will never go for other os .
One prob is I cant use my web cam which is inbuild for my Acer aspire 4710 Laptop

I starting playing around with FC7 last year and really loved the fact the it just wasn’t Windows related in anyway. After running Vista for two weeks I repartitioned the drive and started using Ubuntu & FC7. Linux is much more stable.
I liked the fact that Linux is so flexible and Fedora stays current with the news technology within it’s releases.
For 5 yrs wore the Windows is the OS blinders. While they have been ripped off for a year now. Vista was such a terrible update that only use it when I have too.
Linux Distro’s like Fedora & Ubuntu really reinstate how bad Vista is. Please don’t stop what Redhat/Fedora are doing! I love Opensource solutions.
Thanks for your hard work guys.
June 25th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
As a long time Open-Source supporter, I must point out that some of the previous comments focus too much on the look and feel when judging the distribution. I entirely agree with the comments posted by the developers to clear up any misunderstandings people have about the Fedora Project and Linux in general. On one of my computers (outdated Dell box) Fedora 7 and 8 (among previous versions) ran like a dream. Being one of the more stable and versatile systems, I enjoyed Fedora. However, the high expectations were not met by Fedora 9 as a desktop system. Even in the release, serious graphic problems and package manager problems arose. I’m not satisfied with the absence of Ext4 support during installation. I still prefer Fedora 8 over Ubuntu 8.04 due to functionality despite the reduced “user friendliness”. I will continue to use OpenSuSE 11 because I have not found a flaw which couldn’t be fixed within several minutes.
May the source be with you,
WareWolf.
P.S. I’m tired of people referring to Linux as a “decent replacement of Windows”. Linux not only does everything Windows attempts to do, but does it better and more freely. (Freely in both ways). Thanks to all those who take Linux as a strong-standing community that will make the future a better place.

We use Fedora 7 within our non-commercial organization for about 9-10 months after migrating from a different GNU/Linux distribution.
The System is mainly used as our SAMBA, HTTP and DNS Server within our local LAN. We’re partially students as well as employees. Since we rely on a sane relation of features and stability without the pain of raw installations like Slackware, Debian or Gentoo, Fedora is the best choice we ever did. (At first we were a bit frustrated because of RPM dependency problems occurring much to often ;-)
At the time of writing our server is going to be migrated from version 7 to 8 and already serves data for more than 20 client systems. One of the commentators in here said there’s a lack of “changelog” within the recent releases. I can confirm that. (The documentations from Fedora 7-9 we’ve read are excellent though!) The main reason for us not to migrate to version 9 is that we need to ensure the system is stable and tested enough.
Nevertheless we wanna say “Thank You!” to the whole Fedora team.

I’ve been with Red Hat and Fedora since RH5.2, with every new release it just gets better and easier. Fedora 9 in the default wm (gnome) is no exception.
Let me say thank you Fedora teams and please continue your efforts to make Linux as easy as any other OS to the general population.
June 29th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
我来自中国，现在正在使用fedora9，我很喜欢这个系统，比起XP要更加让人兴奋，我曾经考虑使用ubuntu,但我还是选择了fedora9,在中国用ubuntu比fedora更多，我相信fedora将会比ubuntu更好。
I come from China, and now I am using the fedora9 as my pc operating system, I like it very much, because it is more excited than windows xp, I have thought about using ubuntu, but finally I choose fedora, in China, ubuntu is more popular than fedora, but I believe in fedora, fedora will defeat ubuntu in the future!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Fedora 9 is an awesome OS to use, I love fedora. Nice experience to user it.
June 30th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
In our company we are using Fedora os for the last 4 years .No complaints yet ,Thanks to the R&D people’s behind the release of Fedora series.Great work,Expecting more.

Finally found a distro I like but now noticed my sound doesnt work. I am new to RPMs and was wondering if anyone knew a way of finding out whats wrong with the driver or do i need a specific package to fix this. thanks

also I am using a gateway Model#: MA7 laptop dual booting vista. do i need to replace the alsa package thats alreading installed?
July 3rd, 2008 at 10:32 am
Linux F7/8 has been one of the best server OS i’ve been working with. Mi@#$oft is good in its own ways, but hate the fact that, we’ve got to pay for something which is free some where else. I thank Fedora, before which i thank God, for allowing such knowledge to be acquired by people in order to help others with spearheading the linux world, especially Fedora project group.
July 4th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Sounds great! Don’t like KDE anymore, looks inmature. I’m a Gnome man myself! By the way, Paul, you’re a hot man! Sexy! Growl!
July 6th, 2008 at 12:55 am
KD4 looks great it was imature, unpolished and primitive the user interface, now it looks liek it is polished, does nto use on bitmap for the whoel task bar but actually several to give it a cleaner look in the system tray area, and looks liek a GUI on pair with gnome an dteh 21st century which linux has always had and has beaten windows in everytime. I do hope they do still keep power useer control access. thas what fedora shoudl be striving for and every linux distro, not just have a easy to use distro or a complicated distro but features and tools for both these users as shoudl all OS’s and should no exclude or be intended fro a specific group, dam if only I was teh project manager of all Linux distros, I woudl actually make wise decisiosn that woudl topple microsoft.
Well Fedora is great, sadly though soem of the fundemental programs such as the ones that mount and unmount usb drives floppies have the stupidesty ilogical settings, if they changed thsi then peopel would be less confused as why there data they have written disapears when they do not unmount manually, which is because it doesnt write the data in syncronised but in a syncronised, i dotn know why the makers of thsi program that fedora uses have left the default seetting in a stupid manner which serves no purpose, apart from that it is great. btu of course, theres also teh settings of hal daemon which arnt set out well, you have to change oit manually to install anythign from cd using wine, pretty much linux ditros and fedora woudl be much greater and would attract more people to it, if default settings for underlining programs were set by thoose who understand usability and logic and understands teh common, everyday , dumbed down user so that they wouldn’t be put of by having to manually change defautl settings on apps to values which they should be set to originally not that any dumbed down user woul dknow this, fedora is great but teh decisions made by many distros and by the creators of the underlinign apps that fedora rus are really killigns its popularity or ability o attract new crouds that are not just for the intermediate computer users.
July 6th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
I have been with redhat then fedora core upto and including fedora core 9.
I still struggle with grub.The boot up is usually good until it gets to send mail.It then stops for a while until it gets to cups.
I think its a great distro,and I hope to use it more frequently as the years go on.I have not tried MS Vista,and at present have XP.
July 7th, 2008 at 4:54 am
I made my first Linux-attempt installing Gentoo directly off the internet around 5 years ago.
I managed to get X running but then more complicated setup procedures stopped my project.
When a friend recommended Fedora ~ march 2007, Linux was finally within my reach. :)
I think the idea of having a portable Fedora on USB is great. However it should be able to update userdata to/from a server so you won’t loose data when you keychain gets lost or breaks.
You’ve done a great job so far, and I’m sure you will continue to make Fedora even better.
Thanks.
July 7th, 2008 at 5:17 am
@Niels: Have you looked at the rsync program? It’s great for synchronizing data from one system to another, and it offers built-in SSH capabilities for secure data transfer.

Fedora is Excellent.Never regret trying it out ,right from FC1 to FC9
July 10th, 2008 at 5:18 am
In this page I hope to see “Video: Fedora Project leader on Fedora 9″ after just installing Fedora 9. Unfortunately I meet the same circus as with many linux’s. Firefox 3 Beta 5 five can not show the video on www.redhatmagazine.com www-page which is a page for linux users. STRANGE!
Even more strange is that when I try to download the Flash plugin it is not possible for the sake of an error:
“Firefox could not install this item because “install-peg..rdf” (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist.
Please contact the author about this problem.”
You also should fresh up the installer you use (Anaconda), because I have the same (minor) problem after installing Fedora as THIHA:
“I have installed opensuse + vista.
Last night i tried to install fedora.(I have used fedora 3,4 till 8)
After installing it,my opensuse is gone. There are only two os, fedora n vista.
I wonder why my opensuse’s boot is wiped out or overwritten?
I gave a clean partition for fedora’s boot partition.”
July 10th, 2008 at 7:55 am
hey everyone,
first off i want to say thanks to all open-source os developers out there, may M$ die a quick and unnoticed death.
i have been using fedora 8 for about 6-7 months, and was eagerly awaiting the release of sulphur. i was also stoked at the fact that they decided to make a preupgrade package.
only problem was when i tried to upgrade afterwards, the fc9 img failed to initialize, botching my install. now i know i should have been smarter, backed up my data, thats my fault, but, it actually took 3 attempts to get this os to install properly.
i’m not even gonna mention my problems with flash, ati radeon hd, and pulseaudio, as everyone seems to be on about those subjects, and i would assume that the devs are gettin a little sore on that subject..
but what i will say, as a word of cautionary advice, is if you are not a tinkerer, and you just want it to work, stick with fc8.
July 12th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Solid, stable release. I have not tried out all the new features but so its been a pretty good experience.
Thank you Fedora Team!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:51 am
I like it, but I can’t use it well
July 15th, 2008 at 2:03 am

Flawless….
July 19th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Great, i think i´ve found the right place.
From the Main-Frame(system programer), I started working with “UNIX SCO”, C language, internals, multi serial boards, IPC(Inter Process Communication), developed many applications(during seven years (Intel 386 processor)). Coherent was my last target(was FREE). Unfortunately i had to stop(10 years stoped). No atualization. I am comming back to stay forever. Please help me, give me somebody´s Email that could save me, or show me the fastest way to restart developing applications. I have now two machines(windows XP), no serial board but a switch, each machine has a Dual-core Intel, 4Gb, 2X250G HD, DVD/RW, free access to internet(3Mb). My first objectiv is run all applications (without the serial board) in my internal network.
July 20th, 2008 at 5:15 am
hey, i have used Fedora 7, and really liked it… its awesome. but when i switched to Fedora 8, i did not like the fact that there is NO SUPPORT FOR MP3… and i also had problems establishing YUM in F8, um downloading F9, and wish it has MP3 SUPPORT.
July 26th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
I eagerly installed Fedora 9 and opened up Firefox. Keen to see what was new, I clicked the first link that popped up. “Paul Frields on Fedora 9″
Imagine my pleasure at Fedora 9 taking a terrifically ungracious nose dive when trying to click the very first link it presents me. Not only can’t it display its own content, it spectacularly fails to install the required plug-ins.
So the lesson must be: If you want to learn about Fedora 9, stay away from Fedora 9!
July 27th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Linux as packaged by Fedora generally matches my requirements of reliability and stability.
Why did I adopt Fedora since Core 4 ? Being an IT professional as a language support person, Fedora on my private PC enables me to support my company’s Red Hat customers as well as in some extent support my company’s Unix supported operating systems.
However, I would NOT advise Fedora to non-Linux deeply skilled people.
What I would expect from Fedora is less use of interpreted languages (Python) to more use of compiled languages for performances and energy saving reasons.

I like Fedora best.It can give me more interest of explorition then XP or Vista.I believe Fedora can do better.
August 9th, 2008 at 8:07 am
I use Fedora 8,I think it is a very good OS.I love it ,I will try my best to make use of it.
August 10th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Me agrada mucho mas esta version 9 a las anteriores, mas que nada por su diseño y facilidad de manejo asi como la atumatizacion de mas tareas; solo quisiera recalcar que no encuentro repositorios para hacer funcionar mi web-cam y los efectos del compiz.
August 11th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
kde 4 is VERY unstable, and in FC9 kde 3.x is absent(unlike SUSE 11).
August 13th, 2008 at 3:18 am
WEll its not n0 destecutive- ah usb live not any computer . Try the Amiga where linux was invented- and better on. True better then other distros- but all these problems that u have are already solve on the Amiga - wonders if u woudl ahve tried jsut a little on the amiga os or bought only amiga we wouldnt be in this mess.
AMIGA Rocks ask Intel and sony
August 13th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
This distro is awesome. I’m a convert from a different distro (I won’t say which cause it served me well for many years).
Regarding those that are complaining about Fedora or Linux in general…
… its free…
… its stable…
… its much better than winblows….
… its much better than sMac….
… oh and its FREE!!!
Isn’t it amazing how if you give someone something for free… oh wait… you made it available to them… they chose to take it… but… either way… they got it for nothing… and they still complain… … dude… wtf.
To Fedora developers… you guys rock… this OS works great!!!

Hi
I am sponsoring a local youth club where we try to teach mathematics, geography, etc and also computer usage not for gaming but for improving learning etc..
Basically we have 11 machines PCs and 2 Mac quite old.
We do only graphics when it has a relation with the goal of the lesson or the teaching.
All the systems pc run windows either win2k or xp
Since 1999 I have regularly tried to bring linux in the class room to teach some programming C, C++, Java and perl. As long as we were using the machine without a graphical desktop they worked well. Then when graphical desktop became available we did try to look at them.
Until now, only SUSE v10, 10.3 and 11 are working mostly efficiently. All the other distributions are, and I cite the students, ‘TRASH’
I just had this past week end brought the Fedora 9 and this is a winner in term of uselesness.
We could not get the network working, it would not recognize the Nvidia 8600 GT, we lost the home partition at the 5th booting, and now the root password does not work anymore…
I want to congratulate you or whoever deals with publishing linux for the senseless work done to destroy what could be a reall great OS
Sincerely sorry and the students are more than ever looking for Vista and Mac.
August 15th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
all of these linux distributions are basically the same, the same ‘linux’ the same ‘gnome’ or ‘kde’ or ‘compiz’ what have you.
this is a casual and uninformed observation.
so inform the public why dont ya? i cannot for the life of me find anything on the web that spells out what makes any of these distros different. they all have synaptic, etc…
i guess ubuntu has a pool of software they officially o.k. or something. what makes fedora special other than that NASA uses it? someone make a point for goodness’ sake.
August 16th, 2008 at 7:14 am
i have used various linux redhat and fedore from 5 and now i am working on fedora 9. I am confident that this version will be more useful for me
August 16th, 2008 at 7:50 am
Fedora is awesome! by the way for the people talking about a wish for more wirelss support, try linuxwireless.org or fedoraforum.org also try the irc from the get help link off the homepage. I have a broadcom card, and i got it working with a little bit of work, but puppy fires like a charm now.
August 21st, 2008 at 5:59 am
Hello
I think Fedora is great, but one thing is missing. In Ubuntu you can install build-essential by using aptitude commands from the cd-rom. This option is alpha-omega in a time where users chose to connect through wireless connection rather than ether net. Another option is to make it a part of the installation, since users install these packets any way.

Why are you blocking my site with your home page?
September 8th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
I’m proud user of fedora, it serves me very well - with it’s pretty stable base, and with the feeling that is “in one piece” everytime. So thank you that made it again, I hope I can continue always the bug hunting - to in return get even more better and better Fedora Desktop. I always awaiting new artwork (without nice boring blueish theme), new icons, and possibility to get support for open hardware - like openmoko, or Fedora mobile… I hope that Fedora X will be the eXciting to reach the Infinity.
Ps: Why is an beta software like Firefox b5 are included to an stable release??
thank u and this question plz answer me on my website plz

September 13th, 2008 at 10:14 am
I for myself are using GNU/LINUX since S.u.S.E. 5.2, tried Red Hat5, 7, 8, had debian, BSD, UBUNTU, Fedora and all releases from Novell/Suse since that time till now installed and many others as live distro running and I decided: There is an OS/distro for every purpose in this world. Fedora is just another one, but I always felt sympathy for that stuff from Red Hat / Fedora. I encourage everyone to make experiences on your own.
September 14th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I have been a Linux user since RH 6.1. I also started using fedora when the switch was made.
I have this Acer Aspire 5100 and it came with XP but had a Vista upgrade. I installed the upgrade and tweaked the new OS to it full potential.
Recently I just got disgusted with Windows again and decided that I could once again do without it on this machine as I have already done on my others.
I started looking around and tried Ubuntu’s newest release, 8.04. I can’t really say it had a problem with most of the stuff I tried to do except the handling of my USB cell phone modem which seems pretty straight forward to connect to ttyUSB0 and dial in. It turns out that it would work fine one time and then not the next having to sudo my way around creating different symlinks and unplugging / replugging the modem. After looking at the advise of Ubuntu forums and finding that the card reader had to ejected and all sorts of crazy work arounds I was completely unsatisfied with the lack of support. Finally after getting tired of the clumsy way of doing it switching to GPPP for the dialer made it successful at last. Also running ’sudo passwd root’ finally enabled ’su -’.
After two days of playing around with the ins and outs of Ubuntu all I can say is that it works fine for a desktop system. I was going to build an ARM kernel for my phone but it’s just was not going to happen.
I am currently writing this on my Acer Aspire 5100 running Fedora 9. There is something familiar about it to me. It works great too. Plugged in my USB720 and created the dialup connection in the Network Manager. Now it’s simply a matter of right clicking on the Network Manager Icon and selecting the CDMA network connection. The Micro SD card reader on it works as well.
Keep up the great work.

This really is a great App for my connections.
BTW, I like the KDE Desktop.

I was playing around with fedora 9 and my wireless network is gone including network managment.
September 20th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
hamid..
can you be more specific? If it’s just the user settings that are wacked you can fix that easily. That’s the beauty of any unix system.
After you have your user setup like you like it I suggest backing up the users home folder.
September 26th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
I feel free to use fedora.
I think fedora made by the free developers
Thanks for fedora project team…all of you~~
I will use fedora for mono project….
I am a .Net Coder.
but I like fedora best.
