Re: Best variant of Fedora for a Virtual Machine...?

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm currently installing the DVD release of Fedora, so hopefully will be exposed to all IDEs. I can use the GUI to browse and copy files, but since I'm trying to prepare for Linux certification I'm trying to do everything via the keyboard (it's certainly an eye opener for some things!). I intend to look at Xfce at my earliest opportunity, since I am becoming a little KDE'd out!

Best wishes,

And.

I don't use KDE, but I do have a suggestion. In Xfce, there's a control panel (under Settings, not Administration) called "Removable Drives and Media." If KDE has that, or an equivalent, you should be able to set it to mount drives when they're detected and, if you prefer (I don't) automatically browse it. If not, have you checked with a KDE mailing list or forum? This may be DE related, if so, asking there might be the quickest way to get things working.
