I have just recently switched to using Fedora Core 3 full-time (from SuSE Linux) and have enjoyed the experience. However, there are many things in this distro that I have questions about. I was hoping this book would address many of them. I have found that this book covers Fedora Core in a general sense rather than specifically with version 3. I feel that a lot of changes have been made between versions 2 and 3. For example, this book does not mention anything about formatting in Virtual Volumes, as what takes place during "Automatic partition" during Disk Setup. This book further does not discuss SELinux, which has a significant presence in version 3. On the matter of other subjects, the book does not discuss options with VNC, the new Gnome 2.8 Environment, (nor the new KDE for that matter), or interaction with other new OS technologies such as Mac OS X. And this may be a minor complaint, but an overwhelming majority of the screenshots in this book are from Fedora Core version 2 or before. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
