Which rumor has this? Fedora Core is the basis for the enterprise products
from Red Hat....
It was something I read in a magazine at BN. I may have misread it.
2. Is there a way to do an ftp install of sorts with fedora, rather than downloading all of the iso's and burning disks?
Yes. Download a boot image, make a CD with just that, and choose FTP install. I do this all of the time.
I am assuming you mean an image that is about 20 or 30 MB or so. Where do I find such a boot image? When I go to Fedora's site, all I get in the way of downloading is this link which only has full ISO images.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/
3. What are the advantages of using Fedora over SuSE or Mandrake (in the opinion of someone that has used all three recently, please).
It's a nice, cutting edge distro that has a strong commitment to pure open
source, and there's a solid community of users and developers. And, if
you're used to Red Hat Linux, it's nice and familiar.
Sounds good. I am looking forward to playing with it. I'm currently looking for something stable for use with applications at work.
Thanks again for your help.
