To start it from a text login, log in as root and switch to
init state 5 temporarily (type init 5). Log in to the graphical prompt. From a Terminal window, as root
user, type
# rm /etc/sysconfig/firstboot
# /usr/sbin/firstboot
The Welcome screen displays. From it, step through screens to read (and agree to) the license, configure
a firewall, configure SELinux, set the date and time, create a regular user, and configure your
sound card. Click the Finish button and you are ready to log in to Fedora.

Running Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
Summary
Since leaving its well-known Red Hat Linux name behind, Red Hat, Inc. focused its development
efforts on the free Fedora Project and commercial Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In the past few
releases, Fedora has emerged as an exceptional distribution in its own right, with new features
such as Xen virtualization, AIGLX video hardware acceleration, and powerful extensions to its
Anaconda installer.
Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions distinguish themselves from other Linux distributions
with their simplified installer (Anaconda), graphical configuration tools, and RPM Package
Management tools. Fedora is freely available, whereas Red Hat Enterprise Linux is available on a
paid subscription basis.
