What the book covers: Red Hat Fedora Linux "X" For Dummies shows first-time Fedora users how to install and
use the Fedora Core Linux distribution in the For Dummies friendly, easy-to-understand style.
This book is being fully updated to correspond with the latest release of Fedora Core, due out in Fall 2004. It has a companion DVD that contains the tools and source code on
all of the CDs that make up the full Fedora Core distribution. New topics in this revision book include:
- The new SELinux infrastructure, which is an important new
security feature;
- A detailed list of Linux and GNOME applications;
- A new section that explains how to fine-tune the GNOME
desktop; and
- Coverage of the new gstreamer multimedia tool
(if mature enough).
