HowTo: The Perfect Desktop : Fedora Core 6

subratabera · 24-02-2007, 06:33 PM

With the release of Microsoft's new Windows operating system (Vista), more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for various reasons. This tutorial is the first of a series of articles where I will show people who are willing to switch to Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Fedora Core 6 in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop, i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

Here is how... (Very detailed with screenshots).

Aah it's howtoforge surely there's a lot more on many distros and settings here. Search for howtoforge in this section. I am sure it has been posted a couple of times here but not for FC, AFAICR. It's a great site to keep in your bookmarks.
