Fedora is a distribution of GNU/Linux. To a newcomer thinking of it as an operating system is probably the best way in - IMH(and probably mistaken)O. It will broadly give you the equivalent functionality that many people get by using a MS Windows Operating System on their computer. However, and most importantly, using any terms such as Operating System, GNU/Linux, etc. will imediatly spawn the longest thread this month, and give you a much better idea of the different sorts of people who use, love, hate, fight over, discuss, argue and debate Fedora. Just don't mention Ubuntu. :-) Steve -- (o< www.stevesearle.com //\ Powered by Fedora V_/_ No MS products were used in the creation of this message 15:48:24 up 32 days, 17:07, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.18, 0.17
