Another good Linux Distro is Fedora Core. Fedora is an RPM based distro that is sponsored by Red Hat. Unlike Red Hat though, fedora contains only free and open source software. Also due to Red hats involvement, the community is slightly more focused on making it easier to implement technologies that windows users take as given. This means that from a beginner’s point of view, networking and file sharing, or setting up basic servers for DNS or firewall/gateway purposes might be easier. Personally, if it can be done on Fedora, it can be done on Ubuntu. And I my self and more inclined towards the sudo side of the Sudo/Root implementation argument. But like I said earlier, my implementation choice will also depend on making the tech usable to the average John/Jane who are so indoctrinated by windows that it’s an effort just to get people to give OpenOffice or Firefox a chance, let alone switch OSes.Sunday, December 24, 2006
