Fedora Core Review

By Jim on November 20th, 2003

In the process of changing its support and development model for non-enterprise desktop Linux, Red Hat has given a gift to the community: Fedora.

Fedora is essentially a tweaked version of Red Hat 9 — or Red Hat 10 — that the company has opened up to outside developers to extend and support. This is good for everyone concerned, and it speaks well of Red Hat as a company for doing it.

Overall Fedora makes for a decent desktop platform, marred by a few annoying bugs (more on that below).

Whats In Fedora Core 1?

Theres a lot of goodies bundled with this distro. Heres a very brief rundown of what you can expect:

* Gnome 2.4
* KDE 3.1.4
* Abiword
* OpenOffice.org
* The Gimp
* Mozilla
* Konqueror
* GAIM
* Evolution
* Epiphany
