Fedora Core 6
Fedora Core is often called a test version of Red Hat, but many believe that it deserves to be recognised as a fully fledged distribution in its own right. Led by a community and sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is probably one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions in the world, with users including Wikipedia. It recently reached its sixth release, so let's see what's inside.
Upon [installation] the user creation, you should get a nice graphical prompt. One time I installed Fedora Core 6 I did - the other time I didn't, and was left with an ordinary command line. Hitting Ctrl-Alt-7 sorted the problem, but it was a problem that shouldn't exist, and kept occurring erratically on that system.
The theme of Fedora Core 6 remains as Clearlooks, meaning a clean, simple interface. The only real differences in appearance are the change in default font to Deja Vu (the same as many other distributions), and a different set of artwork. It's all fairly easy on the eye, and also fairly easy to change if you don't like it.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
