Hi,
I want to start using Linux and at this stage Fedora is the one I would
like to give a try.
When browsing the website I found that 2 important things are missing:
- Package info
I wasn't able to find a page which gave me some info about what each
disc actually contains. Are all 4 disc necessary to be able to install
Fedora? Since the distribution is 4 disc big in total, providing this
info might reduce the amount of downloads if not all disc are realy
necessary.
No. Not all 4 discs are required to install Fedora. Depending on
what applications you install will determine which discs you need.
- Support
There is no obvious location on the site with support info. I'm not even
sure this mailing list is the one I should send this stuff to. A page
with at least mailing list info would be handy to have.
This mailing list as well as
fedoraNEWS.org,
fedoraforums.org
At this stage there aren't any docs available about how to
install/use
Fedora, only docs about how to write docs, am I right?
Linux will install just as easy as windows, and even better than windows.
See this link for documentation
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/
even though it is RH9, the principle is the same.
This was a bit confusing to me.
It might be usefull to say this on the website to prevent people from
getting confused or to prevent unnecessary digging in the site in case
they think it's "hidden" somewhere by accident.
Anyway, just my 2 cents ;-)
Also, when can any new docs be expected? Not that I need any at this
stage, installing Fedora isn't difficult at all but is there already a
way to have a look at some docs in "beta" (or even "alpha") stage?
fedoraNEWS.org they have a blog you can get a rss feed from
