Review:

Fedora is one of the principal Linux distributions, most popular after Ubuntu according to Distrowatch. Fedora is supported by a broad community of users and it does not miss arguments to allure the advanced users.

Fedora is a modern distribution with a graphic procedure of installation which does not raise a particular difficulty. Installation CD is bootable and makes it possible to test the distribution without touching with the hard drives.

Desktop of Ubuntu and Fedora has all the same a Gnome environment or complete KDE with many applications installed by default: Firefox to sail on the Web, Evolution for the email and Empathy for the instant messaging.

Many efforts made it possible to improve compatibility with the webcams management and the power consumption. Fedora is distinguished from the other distributions by the adoption of many components, proposed in their last versions. This approach will allure certain confirmed Linux users but will be able to discourage the beginners in the event of problem difficult to solve.

Safety is a subject taken very seriously by the developers of Fedora and this distribution is one of best on the matter. Let us announce for example the possibility of encrypt all the hard drives without notable loss of performance or the integration of SELinux for a finer control of the system.

Only regrets, translation part of certain dialogues and interfaces and an assumption of responsibility imperfect of the international characters. These small nuisances do not affect the performance of Fedora.

With an intact personality and a long experience behind it, Fedora remains one of the best Linux distributions.
