Such info should be in a Linux/Fedora Newcomers FAQ so that we do not have
to bother people with these basics.
Good suggestion. Until someone creates a Newcomers FAQ, post your
questions here and explore what you read in the list.
Regretfully, this is a very basic question that in my mind must be answered
if neophytes like me are ever to make a 100 per cent conversion to Linux.
Hopefully much of what you get with a basic install of Fedora will meet
the basic needs. However, one of the great things about linux is the
number of choices. But that can also be a pain.
I would suggest that you look for a local user group, but the only group
I can find is in Halifax and I'm guessing that you don't live anywhere
near Halifax.
If you plan on experimenting I would suggest using Mondo to back up your
system first. That way if you do something dumb you can easily revert
to a working configuration.
Enjoy,
