Fedora Core 4


Recommended Posts

I installed FC4 a week ago, the install went smoothly. For the first time in many years I did not have to tweak xorg.conf, everything works out of box. However, on the usability side, unlike mandrake, FC4 comes with a very minimal set of packages. I miss some of my favorites such as mplayer, xine, gv, kpackage. Does anybody know a good repo with all the goodies?

Livna is the place to get non-GPL packages, although their quality isn't that great...

AFAIK it does not have Core4 binaries yet (un)officially- read about that @ their configuration page...

BTW if you want your Linux being used mainly as a multimedia workstation, Fedora is not a good choice.
