754 Appendixes Because the complete Fedora Core 3 (Web host)
754 Appendixes Because the complete Fedora Core 3 Linux distribution is included, you have access to a broad range of software packages (more than 1,600), allowing you to get a feel for using Linux as a desktop, server, or programmer s workstation. Details on installing and using Fedora Core 3 are contained in Chapter 8. If you find that you like Fedora Core 3, consider getting the Red Hat Fedora Linux 3 Bible to learn more about that distribution. While some of the material overlaps with this book s, you will get more complete coverage of installation and different kinds of servers that are available with Fedora Core 3. KNOPPIX Linux The KNOPPIX 3.6 LiveCD Linux distribution is configured to boot by default from the DVD that comes with this book. KNOPPIX is the most popular bootable Linux and offers some unique features to set it apart from other bootable Linux distribution (such as ways of saving configuration settings and using it as a persistent desktop Linux). Information on using KNOPPIX and configuring it in various ways is contained in Chapter 11. SUSE Linux The single SUSE 9.1 CD image included on the DVD contains a nice set of features that enable you to install a very usable SUSE desktop system. SUSE Linux is developed and supported by Novell, which offers SUSE as part of a wider range of Enterprise-ready Linux and NetWare software. To install SUSE from the ISO image included on the DVD, you must first burn that image to CD, as described later in this appendix. Then, follow the installation instructions in Chapter 10. Slackware 10 The DVD contains the first Slackware 10 CD. Slackware is the oldest surviving Linux system and continues to have a loyal following among Linux enthusiasts. The first CD contains a good mix of desktop and server software. (You can obtain the second CD from slackware.com if you want to install a full KDE or GNOME desktop for Slackware.) Later in this appendix, you ll find out how to burn the Slackware ISO images to CD from the DVD. Chapter 14 tells how to install Slackware on your computer from that CD. Chapter 3 describes how to configure a simple window manager for Slackware. Note
