And there is always the "Fly before you Buy" Live USB sticks
Moreover, don't be lured, or lulled by reviews.
If you have the time, try it, try them all.
What might be good for you might not be acceptable for others.
And you might have specific requirements.
I know an governmental organization, that considered it wise to buy official support by Canonical.
They hardly put an official case to them, but when they did, allthey noticed that lierarly their issues were only forwarded to the corresponding upstream maintainers, without even botherin to see if they could reproduce it.
Some prefer distro "A", others "B",
But if one has much "higher rankings", but all of your staff is used to and familiar with "B", the other might end up better for your organization or company.
If possible, evaluate all, and re-evaluate every three-four years.
Distro's and their corresponding companies (and communities) are living entities...

Re: GA definition
by David
For you newbies,
GA
In the software release life cycle, general availability (GA) refers to the
marketing phase when all "practical" developmental activities pertaining to
the Linux distribution have been completed. At this point, the
distribution is allegedly or hopefully available for production usage.
Final development activities encompass compliance and security tests, as
well as localization and publishing an iso image to the world via the
internet.
General availability is a part of the release phase of a Linux
distribution, in this case, Fedora 32, and is preceded by the release
candidate (RC) phase.
General availability is also known as a "Production Release."
This term and abbreviation is commonly used by software developers, and the
GA release is highly anticipated by fans of that distribution.
Although, many Linux users will wait till the dust settles, and instead
install an iso image later on, after the early adopters have posted
positive reviews, or just wait for the first round of updates.
Feel free to correct or reword that, as I took the liberty to try to water
it down.

how to view files over the Internet?
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I have a scenario where I have a Fedora server at
one location and five Windows workstations, each
at a different location.
The customer wants to give the five remote workstations
the ability to view (not edit) certain documents.
Question, what is the best to go about this?
vsftp seems to over complicate things.
Your advice?
Samba is out of the question.
Many thanks,

Fedora 32 today or next week?
by Tom Horsley
I haven't been able to find anything that looks like an
official delay announcement, just a schedule listing with
the obscure info about today being the preferred target
and the 28th being the current target. I can't tell what
that means :-).

Cryptsetup re-encrypt with SHA-512 ?
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Is it possible to re-encrypt a partition with the
cryptsetup reencrypt
command, to use the SHA-512 hash ?
Currently, my partition uses SHA-256, so I want to reencrypt without losing
any data. I have heard that the cryptsetup reencrypt does online
re-encryption, but the man page is not clear about how you can introduce a
new hash.
Is it even possible ?

Locked in emergency mode
by Paul Smith
Dear All,
This morning, I tried to run VirtualBox, but it did not start. Then I
tried to do a reboot and while booting, I got into emergency mode. I
typed my root password and issued the command
systemctl reboot
It reboots, but again I got locked into emergency mode.
How can I overcome this?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Anaconda error, no explanation
by Geoffrey Leach
I'm installing Fedora 30 on a system that has an existing linux
installation. It is my intention to replace the existing linux.
I'm using custom partitioning.
When exiting the custom partitioning page (click Done) it says that
there's an error, but does not elaborate. A second click on done gives
me a summary page with three errors (ext4 partitions) and no
explanation.
On the installation summary page, "begin installation" is not enabled.
FWIW, the boot loader is UEFI
Thoughts? Advice?
