I like Fedora GNU/Linux since it's split from Red Hat. It appears to be moving in Debian's direction, i.e. it's a community-driven distribution. The key difference between it and Debian, though, is that it will likely have more/better commercial support since it's the baseline for Red Hat's commercial distribution. http://fedora.redhat.com/ Installation requires downloading a bunch of CD images, but the installer is very well done. It figured out almost all of the hardware on a state-of-the-art laptop; the only item it missed was the strange screen resolution, and it got pretty close. The first thing you'll want to do is disable the extremely annoying console bell. Edit =/etc/inputrc= and uncomment the line =set bell-style none=. It's right at the top of the file - I guess a lot of people want to do that so they make it easy. You'll want to install =apt=, which is a front-end to rpm. It makes it very easy to download and install packages because it knows what other packages each package depends on. http://fedoranews.org/jorge/howto/howto02.shtml -- Main.TobyCabot - 16 Mar 2004
