Upgrading and Installation of Fedora


A few brief words about installing Fedora or upgrading to the newest version

First and foremost, the text of this page is based upon the Fedora 11 operating system. If you do not have Fedora 11, and are considering an upgrade from a previous version of Fedora, I would recommend you do so.

If you are installing Fedora Linux for the first time, you can check out the Installation Guide hosted at the Fedora Project website (Here) That guide may be found slightly confusing for some first time users, but it is a good introduction into everything that's capable in Fedora. Upgrading to Fedora 11 is a highly recommended procedure. You get some great new features, such as Firefox 3.5, the ext4 filesystem used by default, and GNOME 2.26, the newest version of the Fedora desktop environment. Upgrading can be done in multiple ways, however the easiest would probably be to obtain the ISO from the Fedora Project website for your architecture (Here) and burning that ISO to the CD, running the installer, and choosing the Upgrade option.
