How To Install Fedora Linux.
This guide shows you how to install Fedora. These instructions will work for any computer that doesn't use a UEFI interface. (That guide will come as part of a dual boot guide later on).
Why would you choose to use Fedora over Ubuntu or Linux Mint?
This article at Linux.com highlights the fact that Fedora is cutting edge and brings new technologies to the forefront faster than other distributions. It also only distributes free software so if you want to release yourself from the shackles of proprietary software, firmware and drivers then Fedora is a good place to start.
This is of course not to say that you can't install proprietary software and drivers if you want to because there are repositories available which allow you to do that.
In order to be able to follow this guide you will need:
- A bootable Fedora USB drive
- A computer with a minimum of 1 GHz or faster processor, 1 Gigabyte of RAM and 10 gigabytes of hard disk space
The process takes about 30 minutes.
