How nice to see a Fedora document! I used to refer to similar documents back in the 
days of Red Hat 5+. When looking for help on the web, invariably web sites will 
have extensive mention of how to do things on Ubuntu, but Fedora is Cinderella to 
her Ubuntu step-sister.

In quickly scanning through the document, I noticed 2 errors: the virtual terminal 
description at the beginning says that the graphical terminal is on ctrl-alt-f7; 
and in the description of /etc/inittab, it talks about ctrl-alt-delete, giving a 
dated description.

I am glad that this document is finally available and, no doubt, it will be 
corrected and will show how things are done on Fedora nowadays. This is important, 
as Fedora has evolved hugely, being a cutting edge distribution, and things have 
changed a lot since the early days of Linux. A reliable and up-to-date reference is 
essential and will fill the gaps that the web does not.
