One of the favorite Linux distributions from Red Hat family that I have ever tried was Fedora. It was the first time I tried Fedora Core 4, rather endure a bit longer before the family finally moved to Debian and openSUSE. After some time I also tried Fedora miss the now until the release of 13 with the code name of Goddard.
Installation ProcessDuring the installation process went smoothly, no problems whatsoever. I'm just a little "overlook" to view the installation, apparently a lot of difference to the appearance of the installation on the previous release.
Hardware SupportAll hardware on the Acer 4740G by Fedora 13 was detected properly. Starting from the Wireless Network Adapter Atheros AR928X, Ethernet Broadcom Corp. NetLink Gigabit BCM57780, touchpad, webcam and VGA nVIDIA GeForce 310M everything is OK. So also when you finish the installation of all immediate use. A little disturbing that not only the VGA GeForce optimal, because it can not support 3D driver is not installed.
LeftThe time required during the installation process was not too long, less than 30 minutes the installation is complete.
Installation ResultsAs with other major distributions include only the GPL licensed application, Fedora 13 does not yet include some applications such as flash player plugin, multimedia codecs, additional applications Sound & Video (vlc, audacious, audacity and kino) and various other applications are free but non-open source . The result of the installation of Fedora 13 on Acer 4740G appear visible in the picture below.
Fedora 13 "Goddard" is released on May 25, 2010 This is a 6-month release cycle, just as Ubuntu.namun slightly different from the openSUSE release system that adheres to 8 months. Fedora is also known as a bleeding edge distro that many recent innovations include both during the installation process as well as for packaged applications. Some features that are included in this release include a more integrated installation process and a short, automated printer driver installation, NetworkManager fixes, improvements and integration functions for the iPod, perbaikanTotem (video player) streaming and buffering, 3D applications are more ciamik, improved display user management, investments Zarafa groupware, investments Brtfs to partition system that is able to perform the snapshot disks (can roll back data to the position and time), improvement in application virtualization, especially KVM which by default will be the main choice on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and many other improvements that more can be read here : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_announcement

For users of Fedora and Linux enthusiasts have been using other distros, this release interesting and worth a try because of the big names in the world of Red Hat Enterprise is a guarantee that the product-poduk of the sponsored Fedora project became one of the major distros qualified and became one an innovator for application development in the world of Linux.
Some features are updated on the release of Fedora 13 is:
* Kernel 2.6.33.3-85.
* Gnome desktop environment version 2:30, OpenOffice.Org version 3, and mozilla firefox 3.6.3.
* Installing the printer driver automatically, if we install the printer then Fedora will automatically offer to install the driver automatically if needed.
* Update desktop applications, including applications Shotwell for photo manager that replaces gThumb and F-Spot, Deja-dup application for backup software, Pino Identi.ca / Twitter client for the microblogging application, and Simple Scan application for the scan.
* Improved Network Manager includes better support of Mobile Broadband, Bluetooth, and a new command line capability.
* Support 3D for ATI graphics cards (R600 and R700) through the Radeon driver. On Fedora 13, the 3D support on ATI graphics card has changed the status of experimental yag was now activated by default. While 2D support for latest generation (R800) has been well integrated.
* The addition of 3D support is still experimental through Nouveau driver for NVidia graphics card. To try it simply install package mesa-dri-drivers-experimental.
Incidentally on Acer 4740G notebook hard drive there is still an empty space about 60 GB) and I finally decided to diinstalkan Fedora 13. The first step of course must have a CD / DVD Fedora installer. To get the CD / DVD Fedora can be downloaded from some of the links below :
* Kernel 2.6.33.3-85.
* Gnome desktop environment version 2:30, OpenOffice.Org version 3, and mozilla firefox 3.6.3.
