Fedora Linux Distro fun try linuxMo shows off five fun things in Fedora 12, the Linux distro more often used by savvy Linux users.

Well, gurus, it might be time to move over because with some of the powerfully fun stuff included in Fedora 12 (and now the latest edition of Fedora 13), newbies who might have bypassed this compilation will probably be willing to take a look.

Take a look at the videos below or click over to the documentation if you want a better understanding of what Fedora has to offer. If you’re ready to try a variety of Linux distros, visit my Try Linux site.

Fedora Videos

In the first video below, these 5 areas are covered:

  1. including digital painting with a tablet
  2. gaming with an open source MMORPG
  3. taking notes
  4. picking out color schemes
  5. downloading and organizing movies

Didn’t get enough? There’s more! Watch Part 2 of the video below.

Note: Fedora 13 is now out in it’s first edition.

It is distributed in Live CD form — pop in the CD, boot up, and you’re on your way.

Somebody liked it so much, he (or she?) wrote a song about it . . . and here it is: The Puppy Linux Song!
