Fedora 10 Review
Fedora 10 was officially released on Tuesday November 25, 2008. Since its release I have installed it on a number of machines and been running it as my full-time desktop.
Installation
The easiest installation method is to download either the GNOME LiveCD or the KDE LiveCD, boot either one up and give it a try on your hardware to check for any compatibility issues.
The machines I tried it out on included:
1) a Dell Optiplex GX270 desktop,
2) a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop,
3) a Dell Optiplex GX620 desktop,
4) a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop,
5) a Gateway Pentium 4 desktop,
6) and an HP desktop
It worked flawlessly on 4 of the 6. For whatever reason Xorg could not detect / set a usable video resolution for the Dell Optiplex 755 and the HP desktop. On the laptop, I had to download some proprietary firmware for the wifi card and install it under /lib/firmware.
Installing from the LiveCD is really, really easy and fast.
