Fedora


I was wanting to download Fedora. What is the difference between the SRPMS iso images vs. the images that doesn't have SRPMS in the file name.

Thanks!

There are no dumb questions.

Unless you want to reconfigure the install by writing code, you should stick with the non-source version. Part of the linux lure is that you are able to control every aspect of the OS.

BTW I don't like to push distros on anyone; but I used to really enjoy RH/Fedora and Mandrake, however Fedora has gotten worse with every release and I have switched to SUSE which has been awesome right out of the box. It's not that I don't like Fedora, but I think since it is a public release offshoot of Redhat it has become a feedback kind of thing where they want to check things out. Thats not a bad thing either it helps to develop code for linux. Good luck with the distro it will be fun no matter what.
