[Fedora-marketing-list] Mirror in Main China
by Leo 11 Dec '06

11 Dec '06

Hi there, A few friends in China are trying to find a fast mirror for FC and then I find that there are zero mirrors in mainland China though there are a few in Hong Kong and Taiwan. I'd like to see this situation improved. Can anyone give me some pointers? I will try my best to help out. Regards, -- Leo

[Fedora-marketing-list] Proposal: Link to low-cost CD presses
by Michel Salim 06 Dec '06

06 Dec '06

Hello, I notice that quite a few of the requests made to the Free Media program came from USA, Canada, UK etc. It seems to me that at least some of the request originators would be happy to use low-cost presses like Cheapbytes instead but did not know that they exist. Could we perhaps put up a page on the Wiki with links to such sites? I've used Cheapbytes, Linux Emporium (United Kingdom) and a similar service in Indonesia in the past, and have generally been very satisfied. The Indonesian operation (I can't recall the name at the moment) even delivers by courier to your house if you live in the capital. This would probably allow us to reach more people who *really* cannot get access to the DVDs otherwise (or have reasons not to trust online vendors) Regards, -- Michel Salim http://hircus.wordpress.com/ My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. -- Christopher Morley

[Fedora-marketing-list] Re: [Ambassadors] Name for future Fedora distribition?
by Charles Vinchon 04 Dec '06

I don't like the FC X.Y format but i think that releasing one version by year instead of two is a good idea. I ask people who don't use linux what was the brand they would choose and they all have chosen "Fedora" due to its simplicity. 2006/12/3, Thomas Canniot <thomas.canniot(a)laposte.net>: > We have a chance here : Fedora Core 7 will be out in 2007.

[Fedora-marketing-list] Using Linux at Work
by Rahul Sundaram 03 Dec '06

03 Dec '06

Hi "However, around 18 months ago, I built a file server for my LAN, using a VIA Epia 800MHz motherboard and a couple of 200GB hard drives. With Windows installed, it was so slow that I had 10 or 20 second delays when trying to access the share across the network. The overhead of Windows was just too great for it to work effectively – odd for such a minor task. Finally I had the necessity and I decided to give Fedora Core 4 a go. Fedora is the free version of Red Hat, and is actually used on many web servers (including this one). It's use on web servers was a key reason to choosing this, as I wanted an environment that was similar to the Red Hat box I was used to, while also learning skills that could be transposed directly over to web server administration. Interestingly, a Fedora is the type of hat shown in the Red Hat logo (something a girlfriend of mine had to point out to me), so it is in fact a little play on words. Installing Core 4 was painless and before I knew it, I had set up a fully secure file server that was almost instant to access. It was amazing how much difference in performance there was. When mapped as a network drive, it felt like it was a drive in my computer." http://www.trustedreviews.com/editorial/2006/11/11/Using-Linux-at-Work/p1 Rahul
