Looks like Fedora 16 might use Btrfs as the default filesystem. Fedora 16 To Use Btrfs Filesystem By Default Features/F16BtrfsDefaultFs I hope the “Oracle doesn’t understand Open Source” brigade remember where this project started. Cheers Tim…
Yesterday I hit a pretty major problem with Fedora 15. I did a reboot and the login screen came up fine, but when I tried to log in I got a message saying, failed to load session ‘gnome’ No options or alternatives. Just back to the login screen. ?? I started the machine up in [...]
It’s been nearly six months since I made the switch from CentOS to Fedora as my main desktop OS. The Fedora 15 final release dropped a couple of days ago and I slapped it on my main desktop PC straight away. As usual, the first impression is all about the visuals. GNOME 3 looks great. I’m [...]

Fedora 10 has just been released. Cheers Tim…

My Fedora 8 escapades were delayed by my OpenWorld experience, but better late than never. Fedora 8 (F8) Installation Oracle 11g On Fedora 8 (F8) The first article is a run through of a fairly basic Fedora 8 install, showing what it looks like. The second is the Oracle install guide in my normal format. [...]
I’ve just put some images of a Fedora 7 installation onto the website. This article slipped out a little early, so sorry if you tried to read it and found half of the images missing. When I get a chance I’ll try an Oracle installation on it. Cheers Tim…
