Fedora 9

Fedora 9

Let’s See What Happens

I’ve run Linux on a server at home for many years. I’m not a Linux expert, but have managed to get and old version of Red Hat running and it has proven very stable over time. I also have to dabble with Red Hat at my “real job”.

I have never tried the more “user friendly” Linux distros, such as Ubuntu. Although, I’ve been tempted. I just haven’t had the time to try it, nor could I afford the downtime on any of my computers while working through the installation.

The very recent release of Fedora 9, however, has me excited about Linux again. I do have some time now that I can allocate to this project, and will install it to a relatively new Dell laptop this week.

It’s been a while since I’ve looked at Fedora, but version 9 looks awesome. I’m sure Ubuntu is equally awesome, but I’m going to stick with the geekier Fedora for the time being.

If things don’t go as wonderfully as I expect, I’ll give Ubuntu a shot.

More to come…
