Fedora

It seems like just yesterday that I got home from Iraq and refreshed my laptop (Dell Latitude D610). I ran Fedora 8 the entire time I was in Habbaniyah. After getting home, I was excited to get a chance to skip 9 and go right to Fedora 10. I didn’t use it long before I got a new laptop (Dell Latitude D630). Linux never made it on the new laptop. After I read a review of Fedora 11 Beta, I figured it was worth a shot. I downloaded Gparted LiveCD, opened up 20GB of space and popped in the DVD. I split this posting into three sections: the good, the mediocre and the ugly.

I’m finally getting my systems ready for my upcoming deployment. Today, Fedora 8 was released. It took me a bit to find an FTP server that had actually sync’d (ftp.fi.muni.cz). And once I did, I was surprised to find it still had a bit of bandwidth to give. The mirrors have progressively become bogged down throughout the day, but I got my copy. No bittorrent at work so that’s my only option.
