Fedora FAQ
I just wanted to quickly mention this awesome website, http://www.fedorafaq.org/. While it only covers up to Fedora 10 most of what it says is still completely accurate. It has helped me quick a bit get my system up and running, most recently allowing me to use Window’s fonts in Linux!
The Fedora Megapost
Tyler B tries to install Fedora, get his ATi graphics card to work correctly, patches the kernel, enables Synaptics touchpad tap-click support and finally has everything working!
Fedora HOOOOOOOO!
Hi, everyone! Dana here posting from a successful installation of Fedora 11. I’m a little disappointed that I didn’t get the option to install KDE […]
Of filesystems and partitions
For a Windows or Mac user the filesystem is something they will probably never think about in their daily computing adventures. That is mostly because there really isn’t a choice in the matter. As a Windows user the only time I actually have to worry about the filesystem is when I’m formatting a USB drive. For my hard drives the choices are NTFS, NTFS, and.. oh yeah NTFS. My earliest recollection of what a filesystem is happened when my Windows 98 machine had crashed and I had to wait while the machine forced a filesystem check on the next start up. More recently FAT32 has gotten in my way with it’s 4GB file size limitation.
Coming close
The experiment is set to begin in less than 10 days and now is the time to settle on all of those little decisions that still need to be made.
The Showdown: Fedora 11 vs Mandriva 2009.1
The Final Contenders
Well here we are. After a couple of weeks of research I have finally narrowed down my choice to either Fedora 11 or Mandriva 2009.1 to use during the course of this experiment. The two distros are both very mature and feature rich which makes this choice extraordinarily difficult. To help alleviate some of this I have decided to square them off head to head in a series of different areas. So without further ado let’s start this.
Another one bites the dust
Mandriva vs Linux Mint: who will win?
The Shorter List
Debian, you are dead to me
Why its just not making the cut: As I am somewhat familiar with Ubuntu and have read about its relation to Debian, I feel as though Debian is just simply not that different.

Hi, sports fans! (That’s right, I’ve decided to start addressing you all with stupid and arbitrary tag lines… please deal with it.) Since Jon has […]
So Many Fruity Flavours…
I think that I’m the only member of the group with absolutely zero experience with Linux. Sure, I’ve used TightVNC to check the status of […]
The Search Begins
Picking a flavour of Linux is like picking what you want to eat for dinner; sure some items may taste better than others but in the end you’re still full.
Choices, choices, and more choices!
Howdy, everyone! Dana here with what looks like the very first blog post on all of The Linux Experiment. Let me take the time to […]
