Fedora 16 was released a while back, and I've finally gotten around to checking it out. For this review though I've opted for the KDE version of Fedora. As you may already know, Fedora comes in multiple spins including GNOME, Xfce, KDE and others. If you're interested in checking out other versions of Fedora, you…
Fedora 15 was recently released and I decided to snag a copy to review. Since there are a billion reviews already of the default desktop version with GNOME 3, I'll be covering the KDE version in this review (though I may circle back to the GNOME version at some point for a review). As I…
Fedora is one of the best known desktop Linux distros but there aren't a whole lot of derivative distros based on it. Fusion 14 is a new distro that uses Fedora 14 as its base. Don't be fooled though, Fusion is not your father's Fedora at all. There's more to it than meet's the eye…
In my last look at Fedora 14, I covered the GNOME version. Fedora comes in other flavors though, including a KDE version. Since there are many KDE users out there, I thought it wise to cover the KDE release.
With the release of Ubuntu 10.10 recently, it's been Ubuntu overload recently in Linux land. Thankfully, another heavy weight distro has weighed in with an update: Fedora 14. Fedora 14 has wisely decided to stick with GNOME, unlike the next version of Ubuntu (which promises to use the awful Unity interface on the desktop). Fedora…
Well it's often been said that "it never rains but it pours" and that seems very true the about Linux distro releases in the last two weeks. Fedora 13 has just been released so I couldn't resist doing a review of it. I generally try to stick to two reviews per week but there was…
Some desktop Linux distributions are perennial favorites and Fedora is definitely one of them. Fedora's slogan is "freedom, friends, features, first" and, while some may consider it rather cheesy, it's a nice sentiment. The latest release of Fedora is version 12 and it includes some nifty new features. I downloaded the Live CD version of…
A lot of Windows users have considered switching to Linux and usually when they do switch it means getting used to a whole new look and feel on their desktop computers. Usually it involves picking Gnome or KDE or perhaps one of the light-weight window managers for their desktop environment. But what happens when Linux…
It's been ages since I last did a review of Fedora. I had planned to do one of Fedora 11 at ExtremeTech but I couldn't get the beta to install properly in VMWare (my preferred tool for doing Linux distro reviews). Fortunately the final release is in much better shape and I was able to…
