rying Fedora Core 1

Today I installed Fedora Core Release 1 in a VMWare session on my laptop. I was unable to using the CD-ROMs I burned and got the same error as described in this thread. I ended up installing the OS using the three .iso files on my laptop hard drive. I installed a default desktop into a 4 GB partition. Here are the daemons listening, the filesystem stats, and the uname output:

The coolest thing in my opinion was trying the yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) program. When fedora.redhat.com was down this afternoon I followed these instructions to add a backup source for yum. I then used yum to add nmap. It worked like a charm:


[root@localhost root]# yum install nmap

I will do the following:

[install: nmap 2:3.48-1.i386]

Unfortunately, since no package of ettercap was available, I couldn't try adding it. I then gave up2date a try. I used it too update packages on the system.

up2date worked well too. I think I could like this distro.

I got an email from Red Hat explaining the new status of their products. From the email:

"Get Enterprise Linux in three ways:

--> Enterprise Linux WS: for desktop/client systems.
Starting at $179
--> Enterprise Linux ES: for small/mid-range servers.
Starting at $349
--> Enterprise Linux AS: for high-end and mission-critical systems.
Starting at $1499

>>compare all three:

Wow, those prices are amazing! I'll be interested to see who adopts this product.
