Video: Fedora 10
by the editorial team
Download this video: [Ogg Theora]
Fedora 10 is out, and to celebrate that milestone, Fedora Project leader Paul Frields sat down with Red Hat community guru Greg DeKoenigsberg to talk about where Fedora’s been over the past five years and where it’s going. Along the way they discuss KVM improvements, the debut of new Fedora artwork, and the future of codec support. Watch the video, then head on over to fedoraproject.org to fire it up!

Nice Video!! Good work folks :)

The URL is incorrect fedora.org is a private system. The correct url is fedoraproject.org

Fedora.org is a known trojan site.

Interesting well edited video, was listing in the office with the speakers up and almost jumped out of my skin when the clip about a community came on. I wonder if that was intentional.

Thanks to Ubuntu I got interested to try Linux. But Fedora has became my choice. At least in my computer, things worked better and ith no crashes at all.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I’ve been updated to Fedora 10, awesome features..
December 3rd, 2008 at 10:02 pm
I am stuck at Fedora 8. I am waiting for KDE 4.7 :(

Great achievement

Congrats on F10.
Pity the kernel continues to be non-free.

The kernel isn’t free? Seriously?

I cant find instructions on how to install fedora over Windows Vista on my Dell Inspiron 1520..i was thinking of saving my files on a DVD then transfering them back when I installed Fedora 10. I am fed up of Vista.
December 6th, 2008 at 4:21 am
Will you please sent me the fedora project’s cds? i am very much impressed on it.i am a open source supporter too. my address is as follows TOMS ALOSHIOUS,KURISINKAL (H),KADUKUTTY P.O, THRISSUR,KERALA,INDIA-680309.

Sofiane: Download the Fedora KDE Live iso burn it to disk. Boot your system from the cd click the install icon on the live distro desktop follow instructions when it asks for partitioning setup tell it to take over entire disk. done in 10-15 minutes.
reboot no more vista.
December 7th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Basically like the new KDE4.1 shell - but that was already there in F9; pity though that the background is the same for every desktop (yes I know I can change the workspace background); and enormous pity that F10 keeps freezing at unexpected moments both in KDE and in Gnome. And I don’t even have a Radeon video card!!!
I also find Plymouth a waste of time and energy - whatever was wrong with the old GRUB startup screen. Plymouth adds absolutely nothing but unnecessary baggage to the system.
To be honest, if OOO3 was included in the F9 packages, then I wouldn’t have bothered to upgrade.
Oh and I hate the new System Settings and intensely dislike the printer management. Bring back the old Control Centre - and while we are about it, you can bring back the old KPowersaver.

Hey thats pretty cool I am currently using Fedora Core 5 in school in my Unix Administration class. I am still new to Linux but I hope that there will be more talk about music programs for Linux and maybe more games for Linux.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
It is a very nice video. There should be some more marketting among the people so that all will hear on Fedora and its benefits especially among academic institutions.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Those who want to install fedora on a Vista lap top.
First go to control panel of vista and shrink the last partition. Free up some space (20 GB ) from Vista. There is an option in Vista. After that install Fedora on that freed space. Also after installation remember to create a user account other than root. Then go to /etc/grub.conf and set the time to 50 seconds instead of 0 or 5. Then reboot
December 9th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Well nice video. I would have liked to watch it on the system that I installed F10 on but it locks up every few minutes, just like all the others. What? You don’t know about the lockups? Search fedora forums. This distro sucks.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
The video is cool, i kind-a like the videos and this talk about Fedora after Paul Frields joined up.
As for the author of the last comment, install windows and stop spamming.

Gotta say i love F10, i h ave been unlucky i think on my hardware setup and had tons of problems just getting my F9 to work (Mainly with GFX drivers) but on F10 although the same problems happened it was a hell of alot easier to install, i think its karma, many people who loved F9 are having issues on F10 but for me it seems to be brilliant :D Love you F10
December 11th, 2008 at 6:46 am
Just installed on my Dell D430 and Fedora 10 is fantastic :) Installation is trivial and everything “Just Works” - nice video, this kind of promotional material needs to get out there to people so can see what Fedora is all about and hopefully give it a shot.
December 11th, 2008 at 7:24 am
That’s good distro. But I think, if it would have some Intel fakeraid drivers in it, it will be much more good. ;)

I have been chaser of fedora since fedora 4
the fedora 10 is marvellous
i have started linux promotion centre, fedora 10 is proposed to be most preferred choice for free distribution
i have demonstrated that fedora 10 live can even be booted from hd without installation
December 12th, 2008 at 1:19 am
I chose Omega 10, a Community Remix of F-10, as my main OS but I still use Mac OS X to download any Linux Distro I want to test out. I run a small Linux Blog and I work hard on it, please visit it soon!!! :D Happy Christmas to ALL
of the Linux Folks out there!!!

Hi ya’ great stuff. i been a fedora chaser/user since fedora c1 came out. great stuff, however the chase after mp3 support
and a good player other then xmms. the other players are ok but xmms is the best of them all. and i prefer gnome over the kde here in fedora c10.
my recommendation is bring up a good movie player with .avi support also at the moment working on my getting my reg dvds playing without errors. just something to work on.
also i agree here need more advertisment get the word out on red hat and the fedora linux distros :)
and ya’ winderz can’t touch this!!!

Fedora: a community of the future? Yes!
Your development of open source software is very important for the near future. I have only some experience with Ubuntu software 8.10. At this moment I try to test Fedora with applications on a USB stick. I think in the future that this kind of software is more important than the commercial closed OS window software of Microsoft with virusscanners, firewalls and high system needs.
Why:
1) The Linux OS is open software
2) An user do not pay for the OS. So there is no limit
for the number of Linux OS in use.
3) Today users can run the Lunix OS and their application(s) on a cheap USB stick.
4) the price of an USB stick can be very low. Last time I have paid 9 euro for a 8 GByte stick.
Sticks with OS for different application are now possible.
Examples:
a) an USB stick with a Linux OS and an environment with high security for bank account operations
b) an USB stick with a Linux OS for fast web surfing without the need of high security
c) USB stick with a Linux OS for office applications with security wall
d) USB stick with a Linux special fast OS for games
e) USB stick with a Linux special OS for children
f) USB stick with a Linux OS for secrets
g) USB stick with a Linux special OS for multimedia
applications.
The user can choose for basic PC OS with MS windows of only a mass storage and no OS at all.

No root logon in 10 ie no configuration! Upgrade to fedora 8 or openSUSE.
December 15th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
I installed Fedora 10 about three days after it was released. Except for the ATI Radeon problems, it’s working great. I’m glad the audio works properly now (and xawtv too!).
As for the previous post about xmms, it is no longer supported upstream so it’s time to find another player.

I’ve just made my initiation into the Fedora world one week ago, so I’m 100% ignorant about the operating system.
Just one question…
Why was my Fedora9 download, 1 week ago, DVD sized (aprox 3,5G), and now the new F10 is only CD size (700M) ????
December 17th, 2008 at 12:17 am
To Fedora Beginner…. You downloaded the live version that’s why it was only 700mb, go to other download options and (i.e. torrents, etc.) and you’ll find the dvd downloads.
Looking forward to the features of this release. Downloading it tonight. Been a Fedora user since before the “Project” started, when it was just called RedHat Fedora.
December 17th, 2008 at 4:50 am
Thank you, Harizen.
But sorry for pushing the subject again, can you explain briefly the difference between the versions? (live vs DVD)
I really want an installation version.
Is it more software included?
I’m really willing to get “into” Fedora, but it’s not that easy… :) (Because on Microsoft environments, I’m quite an advanced user and I want to keep my expertise level)
December 17th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
No problem Fedora Beginner,
usually the live version has preselected packages that you can run right from the cd or in some cases from a flash drive. The full versions give you many more options and you go through the setup process, such as partioning the drives selecting the packages you want (i.e. server type, desktop type, etc). these days the linux os’s are much easier to setup than 5 or 10 years ago. you’ll be fine. and if you have some type of os background it shouldn’t take long for you to catch on.

i updates from fedora 9 to fedora 10 using yum in terminal. It took me complete 5 nights (i have free net connection in night only), but after completing the updation process, i can’t see any change in my syste. Although i can feel, that it is much faster now, KDE is allowing me to chnge backdrounds!! but whats the big deal???
December 19th, 2008 at 2:03 am
Ok!
Tks again, Harizen.
Guess I’ll be back to this forum quite often… :-)
December 20th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
I find it distasteful, at best, to post a video about Fedora in a format that Fedora can’t access by default.
Of course the Flash Player is available, but that’s an end-run around Fedora’s mission. Getting the user to do the dirty work of installing the proprietary software you believe they should have doesn’t make the project clean.
“Fedora’s all free software!” ::nudge nudge, wink wink:: (nods towards the bin with Flash player and proprietary video codecs)
December 22nd, 2008 at 9:39 am
Regarding #10,
So i don’t understand-
If the kernal is not free does that you have to pay for fedora?
December 23rd, 2008 at 1:09 am
A quick respond to you Nero post 37
There have been so well “financed-lawsuit against Linux providers. When Microsoft announced that Linux had infringed on over 220 patents(codecs,desktop,whatever) their intent was to make people pay them for the use of Linux. When Linux went to battle in court Microsoft made some promises(they couldn’t prove their claim). the first is a promise that they won’t assert their allege patents against individuals, non-commercial ,open-source developers. Who are these? ME Thanks to Bill HELL you gotta install something that in my opinion should be included on every computer by default.

Guyz ,
Nice work , Congratz ….
December 24th, 2008 at 8:36 am
hey frnds ….tnxs a lot & good luck ….
December 24th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
that’s a pity that I can’t have a look on the video because I never succed getting adobe flash player in the 9th release.
Wouldn’t be a shame to go back under windows to watch at it?

fedora greatly influenced me with its sophistication to migrate to GNU LINUX. In one word Fedora - SIMPLY the BEST

That’s REALLY hacking the website.

I did a test-upgrade and had no glitches, will it work on my main machine too? I installed AVG an some other stuff…
Upgrading (this is my first time) - does that mean “simply” safeguarding the userfolder? And placing it back - in case the upgrade failed and I have to do a clean re-install…
