Welcome

Welcome to Fedora®Geeks.

Translation is available as of 09/02/2010. Link may be found at the top of the page. Currently using Google Translate.

It appears that this site is getting some traffic. I guess my efforts are enjoyed by at least a few other folks. Allow me to clarify that my posts may cover many different Operating Sytems, in various configurations. I do not write a great many posts about Fedora because it doesn’t give me much to write about. I find it to be very stable, secure, and predictable. When trying something new and different I use a virtual machine and could care not much if it dies suddenly. (28 last count). Fedora provides a strong host and does well allocating resources as directed. My articles tend toward directing others toward resources which are proven to be useful. I put up some information mainly to make it easy for me to find when I want it, or may only help a limited audience. Golf stuff for instance. It is sort of a large online bookmarks compendium of a sort. All opinions expressed are my own.

Please take note that this site is DEVELOPMENTAL, thus may be volatile, and subject to change without notice. This site is only updated sporadically. It is my file cabinet.

Fedora has come of age! The overall improvements and ease of configuration leaves me impressed. Only removed a few packages and only added a few customizing things to suit me. Fedora on the AMD _x64 platform is very stable with plenty of resources left over.

This site is operating using  Fedora 15 on an AMD 64 Athlon(tm) X 2 . Other versions are also available. Great product!

CrunchBang Linux - #!

CrunchBang Linux - A nimble Openbox Linux distro. Fairly lightweight file size. Runs great using VirtualBox.

This may be my new favorite Linux distro for toying around in a Virtual Machine. Only somewhat functional using VirtualBox with guest additions. Not quite ready for seamless mode.

It has some extra baggage which is easily removed. Easy to add all the new garbage you want.

01/02/2010 - There is a 64 bit version now also. Even skippier! Enjoy.

Fedora Support Forums and Community

There are some fine resources available if you need a little help. The ability to read and write is a prerequisite. (It does however appear that spelling is optional.)

***Hint to help site maintainers… many folks really like help sites that DO NOT require user registration to read only. I can understand it for posting. It is very frustrating to have to stop and register when you are in a bind and only want a quick answer to a problem and have no intention of posting; nor do they want the email which often comes afterwards. It will also likely save you some frustration when people label such emails as spam (which they very often are). I’m sure many others feel the same about it.

This is what it looks like. Full size .

Soon...

This site will likely be offline at some point to install and configure when I get the time. Please be patient and bear with us. Please excuse any inconvenience.

UPDATE: Upgrade to 15 went very well. Also went ahead and added some storage space. Triple 2TB Hard Drives! Gives me 5.46 TB Physical for 10.4TB Capacity.

Found Personal Fedora 15 Installation Guide to be a very useful tool for getting things working well.

Services and Daemons will be helpful as systemctl replaces chkconfig now.
