SH> will have to enclose an installable version if you want to install it
SH> instead of just using the live CD.

 CS> Zod?  Sorry, new acronym to me.  Sounds like Fedora from the text?
 CS> I'd love an installable version too if you feel so inclined?

SH> Each Fedora version has a name.  Zod is the name for Fedora Core 6,

Ah ok.  Tracked from semantics then!

 CS> Only if it's 'legally ok' to do that though.  I'm not asking you to do
 CS> anything you'd feel uncomfortable with.

SH> Nothing prohibits it.  All Fedora releases are completely open source.
SH> If I wanted to, I could have a small charge for distribution media,
SH> shipping, etc, but not for the distribution itself  All this is in  th
SH> Fedora FAQ at:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ ,


Works for me!  Bless you!


 CS> Ok, works for me.  Then Fedora 'plays well' just like XP does (at
 CS> least with XP).

SH> I know that there are drivers available to let Linux read and write to
SH> NTFS partitions, but I prefer to keep them isolated.  I don't want XP
SH> muck about in my Linux partition for sure!  If I need to transfer a
SH> documemt from one OS to the other, I prefer to go through a flash driv
SH> and a reboot.

For me, I normally email the few I need back and forth among accounts. I asked 
Charlotte and she's happy enough with having to reboot between OS's.  Her 
access isnt very 'file driven' at this stage.

SH> the old system.

 CS> Grin, (whisper, get another toy! Go on!  Do it!  Ya know you wanna!)

SH> I am waiting for the right moment when I have cash on hand to cover it
SH> Right now, we have the bill for the new furniture coming due as well a
SH> insurance.  I don't want to go into debt for an item that I don't
SH> actually need.

Awww!  But ok, I can relate.  Same here.  I spent quite a lot in Okinawa but it

was available cash without touching any savings accounts.


SH> The live CD I am sending won't have the Flash player.  In the FAQ, it
SH> explains that Fedora is using only open source which isn't patent
SH> encumbered.  That also means that it won't play mp3 files out of the
SH> box, although it isn't too hard to find and add the parts needed to do
SH> so.  It will play ogg, flac, and Speex audio formats and Theora video.
SH> The Multimedia part of the FAQ covers this more thoroughly.

I can add the parts.  It's not that hard.  My SuSe is the professional version 
so came with some things that the 'free one' doesnt.

 CS> work pretty good too.  She's used to KDE, 'Netscape' (Mozilla), and
 CS> WIN's stuff (in Explorer and Netscape).

SH> Fedora defaults to Gnome, but it also has KDE available to be installe
SH> I don't use it as I prefer Gnome, so I can't tell you how well it is
SH> integrated nor how well it works.  IIRC, you can choose the packages
SH> during install or after using Pirut, which is the package manager tool

SH> Taking a quick look, Gnome, KDE, and XFCE are the available desktop
SH> environments.

Cool.  I havent tried Gnome in a while.  XFCE is a new name for me.  Probably 
go KDE for Charlotte.
