Hello all, I just got back in the states and notice a lot of changes to red hat site... I noitce that there is a new fedora since red hat is not offering it free any more....

I'm a little confuse it fedora the same as red hat plus were whould I find the doc on how to install, configure like red hat use to have?

Any info would be good


Thank's

Yes, they're pretty much the same..

Red Hat 7.2
Red Hat 8
Red Hat 9
Red Hat Fedora Core 1 (Latest is Core 3)

Look it that way :)

And no, there's no official installation guide for RH Fedora :(

Since i have a tone of red hat books would those be worthless to use with Fedora?

Then if that's the case I rather stick with red hat 9 and see what happens.

No, they're not worthless (as long as they're Red Hat 8/9 books), they'd work. Believe me, they're basically the same thing.

Don't worry about it, really ;)
