I'm a former DOS junky from back in the early days. I've been a MS user for a long time. Lately I've found some time and an extra desktop cpu and want to get some hands on with Fedora and back to the CLI.
My UNIX experience is limited. I know a lot about computers and been around them for a long time, so I'm not new to the industry, just versed in different OS's. My UNIX experience comes from the early 90's using QNX. It was a great UNIX varient and I loved the guide / book for it. Beleive it or not, it was based (the support / installation book) on JR Tolkeins "Lord of the Rings". It stepped you through the complete installation of the OS. From mounting the CD, etc. It was all 100% CLI. I'm kind of looking for the same experience so I can fully learn this (even if it needs to be at a snails pace). I've downloaded the Fedora ISO's (4 of them) and burned them to CD's. The problem is, the first ISO is not bootable. Is there another ISO I need to download, which is bootable?
I'm going to put this on an Intel Celeron platform with a 40GB drive, CDR, 1.44 Floppy, and some standard extra's (nothing fancy).
I would like to turn this box into an FTP server on my home network and replace my Windows FTP server. I would also like to run Apache, (some type of email service), and do some file sharing on my home network.
Any and all advice would be appreciated!
Thanks, Chris
