The Visual History of Fedora
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
"Fedora began as Fedora Core, which was sponsored by Red Hat and was
(and still is) developed largely by the community. Unlike Ubuntu that is
including a variety of binary blobs, Fedora contains only free and
open-source software. Due to the integration of Fedora Core and Fedora
Extras with version 7, the Linux distribution will be properly known as
Fedora."

Fedora Marketing Problem with LiveCD
by Rodrigo Padula de Oliveira
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi Guys!!
Last weekend i tested the Fedora LiveCD (Gnome and KDE).
I have noted a BIG problem. This cds doesn't has OpenOffice.
I believe that the OpenOffice Presenter is a VERY IMPORTANT SOFTWARE in
the LiveCD. LiveCd is used to make presentations and demonstrations
about Fedora and how can I do this without a OpenOffice Presenter.
Koffice and others dont have the same OpenOffice quality and compatibility.
I have many others sugestions based in the profile of the LiveCd users.
For who can i send changes and package suggestions?

2006 Operating System Vulnerability Summary
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
Fedora does very well compared to other systems in this.
http://www.omninerd.com/2007/03/26/articles/74
"After the first reboot, the network card came on-line for a final stage
of installation configurations. Fedora's installer prompted for security
configurations on the firewall whereupon ports were opened for FTP,
Mail, NFS, SSH, Samba, HTTPS, telnet and HTTP. No changes were made to
the default SELinux policies.72 Nmap could not identify the operating
system, guessing incorrectly Sun Solaris 10. Unlike other Nmap scans
which took only seconds, this scan lasted for 26 minutes and resulted in
numerous filtered ports which is behavior indicative of a default
firewall. A Nessus scan against Fedora 6 during the configuration
process revealed no direct vulnerabilities to the host itself.73"
