Yesterday I installed Fedora14 on an old Dell PC (an Optiplex G260) enhanced with 2 GB in RAM. All is working OK, but I have few doubts yet. Before continue with this I want to specify two things:
First, I have a little experience inside the gnu/linux distributions, actually I come from the Ubuntu distribution with all the debianic habits for use a linux system.
Second: I'm reading the basic documentation about fedora14.
OK, so I installed Fedora 14 for run few libraries for an academic project inside I'm wornking at my University, actually everything runs beautiful inside Fedora14 (I had few troubles with Ubuntu and I was working a long time for fix them), perhaps later I can relate you about it.
And as I told you, coming from Ubuntu I feel like nude, like a noob without the APT and all those options that made me very easy the life inside Ubuntu. I don't know if there is a guide for start fedora coming from debian or something else. In fact the option apt-get update was very useful for me.
And this take us at my following doubt: There is a mirror or repository from where I can download upgrades, packages and all that stuff? Again with Ubuntu, inside my country I can choose two different repositories from where I can download almost everything, in fact one of them is inside my University :) so the upgrade is amazing fast.
Yesterday was boring to wait hours for the needed upgrade and for install few packages, perhaps a repository nearer will make this easier.
Finally my biggest problem now is how to use the YUM, I need you helping for install the flash plug-ins, the LibreOffice suite and that kind of things... of course I know I must start a new thread for each one, now simply I'm relating what I wanna do.
Thinking that perhaps someone can advice me to go back the debian and Ubuntu world, I prefer to improve my experience inside the gnu/linux world testing one of the most popular distros, and the world of the red hat, where the rpm packages are the standard.
Thanks for you time and helping:
