Fedora Four

2006-03-06T07:54:00.000-08:00

Fedora 4 Core

Excellent operating system, once user is proficient several wp's, games, edutainment.
Perhaps two office suites would have been better. Runs well on compaq pc. Includes driver for canon printer bjc4300 though this is an old printer. Is scheduled to be upgraded soon to Fedora Five. See www.redhatfedora.org fort further details. Includes open office suite, Gnome, KDE.
Best game probably version of Mahjong. Installs well you can use text mode if you have problems. Gnome desktop is customisable. The Disgo lite is said to be compatible with it though I have yet to test this.
It includes Quanta website design, I added Bluefish and NVU to beef up the website design capabilities. I also added little wizard an elementary programming language, Added by unpacking tarballs which sounds easy but is quite demanding. Am trying to add Scribus and criawips, KDE office would also have been helpful.
