Go to this link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Enabling_Root_User_For_GNOME_Display_Manager and it will tell you how to set up the root access in gnome. Use the gedit instructions as gedit is a lot like Notepad. And don't forget to change both the files it recommends for F11. The official Fedora wiki and website are good resources for help and howtos. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ This site by Mauriat Miranda is also good for people new to Fedora. http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f11.html Fedora might not be the best alternative for your situation. You would probably be better off with CentOS as it is a more stable server version that seems to be a better fit. Fedora comes out with a new version about every 6 months and there are usually tweaks that have to be made in order to get it tuned properly. Also, after a year security updates for Fedora stop (two versions back) and this can leave your computer vulnerable to exploits. Fedora won't stop working, it just won't get updates. I presume you are using the instructions from the wiki for fog at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOGUserGuide#CentOS.2FRHEL I notice that fog asks you to turn off both selinux and the firewall in Fedora. This could be problematic for security, especially if you are connected to the web, but even for internal threats. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
