Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Part III
The Unofficial Fedora FAQ (www.fedorafaq.org) has become an excellent resource for getting
answers to the most constant, nagging questions about Fedora. This FAQ is a good place to start
for learning how to get all those things you need (MP3 players, instant messaging, video players,
access to your Windows XP NTFS file system, and so on).
On the whole, the total amount of software available and greater stability among software repositories
(I discuss them next) has meant that it??™s possible to get a much better total experience with
Fedora than was possible even with Red Hat Linux.
Forums and Mailing Lists
Since Fedora came into existence, many individuals and organizations have rallied to support
Fedora going forward. If you want to get into the flow of the Fedora community, I recommend
starting with the Fedora Project??™s own mailing lists. You can choose the Fedora mailing list that
interests you from the Red Hat Mailing Lists page (http://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo).
Start with the Fedora-list or Fedora-announce-list mailing list.
Many other Fedora resources are also available on the Web, and Appendix B includes a list of
many of them.
