This document provides an overview of open source software. It begins with definitions of open source and discusses how open source allows anyone to freely use, modify, and share source code. It outlines the core criteria that define open source licenses. It then compares freeware and shareware models and discusses popular open source licenses like GPL and BSD.

It provides examples of office, graphics, internet, and development tools. It concludes with discussions of the Linux file structure and useful Linux commands.
An operating system connects hardware and software, managing hardware resources and allowing the processor to run software and perform tasks. The main types are Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and DOS. Windows is the most popular as it comes preinstalled on most computers sold and has a graphical user interface (GUI) allowing interaction through windows, icons, menus and pointers. It supports many types of hardware and allows security through passwords but the code cannot be modified. Linux also has a GUI but is open source, allowing users to customize it, though it supports fewer types of hardware. Mac OS only runs on Apple computers and also has a GUI, but unlike Linux, its code cannot be modified.
Fedora Core 6 includes several new features and enhancements, including a new default theme, improved package management tools, updated desktop applications, and better support for additional languages. Performance has been improved through rebuilt packages and an optimized ext3 filesystem. The installer now allows specifying additional repositories during installation for a more integrated experience.

2. Standard Linux Protocols - Beautified
Add/Remove Software
Fedora, and all Linux systems, use a package manager to organize software packages, and to get them all
from one place, similarly to an app store for a mobile device. The Fedora package manager is both easy
and fun to use, with over 20 different categories, varying from Games to Fonts to Programming to
Education. Because there are many different items, it also provides filters, to only show packages matching
certain criteria.
3. Standard Linux Protocols - Beautified
Software Update
In conjunction with a uniformed
protocol to download programs, there is
also one to update them. The front-end
splits updates into categories such as
security, bug-fixes, and others. The list
shows lots of information about each
update, and a checkbox whether or not
to download this update. Unlike with
Ubuntu and similar flavors, no
authentication is needed to update!
4. Standard Linux Protocols - Beautified
Terminal
The terminal is an essential part of any Linux distribution. It provides access to the command line side of the
computer, sometimes doing tasks that cannot yet be done by GUI programs, or are harder to do. The command
line is classically a white-on-black interface. The Konsole program shipped with Fedora can hardly help being
much nicer than that, with an aesthetically pleasing black-on-white color scheme, and even different sizes to
snap to. All this is customizable, of course, including text color, background color/image, default size, and
window title. It can also be a tabbed window, to run multiple commands at once.
5. Wonderful Window Management
Workspaces
Linux has a feature called workspaces, where the user can organize their open windows to their heart's
delight. With Fedora, there's no need to set the amount – just open a window on the blank workspace, and
a new one will be created! Firefox's Tab Groups (Panorama) feature is likely based on workspaces.
Window
Preview
In the center of
the screen is a list
and preview of
the windows in
the selected
workspace. It
shows the
window and the
title. Hovering
over one produces
an X to close it.
Clicking will
switch to it.
6. Wonderful Window Management
Launch Bar
The launch bar is the easiest way to open your favorite
applications. It lists programs that the user has marked as
their favorite, along with all open applications. Clicking on
an open application can sometimes be the fastest way to
switch workspaces.
7. Amazing Applications
Default Set
Fedora comes with a host of useful applications by default. These include Firefox, GIMP, and
LibreOffice. There are photo viewers and audio players. There are tools to take screenshots, calculate,
customize your computer, and report bugs. Several games are also provided, including the AisleRiot
solitaire package, Mines, and Sudoku.
8. Amazing Applications
Categories
The default set of applications are sorted into 9 categories, along with “all”. The programs
have the category coded in. When a new application is downloaded that has a non-existing
category (such as WINE), it is created.
Search
In case there are too
many applications to
easily find the needed
one, a search bar is
provided. It searches
both the shown name,
and the technical name.
Typing from anywhere
in the Activities view
activates the search.
9. Fedora Keeps you on Track
Evolution
The Fedora desktop's calendar displays events set in the Evolution calendar client. Checking
your schedule is just a single click away. Evolution also serves as a mail client.
10. Fedora Keeps you on Track
Empathy
The Empathy chat client is integrated
directly into Fedora. The status can
be adjusted directly from the
username dropdown. When enabled,
notifications can pop up on the
desktop. Empathy can show contacts
from several different accounts all at
once, when configured.
11. Security-Enhanced Linux
Leading in Linux Security
Fedora is one of the leading distributions in SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux). SELinux keeps
your computer secure from hackers. With Fedora's implementation, you hardly notice it!
Upstream
Changes
Fedora does even better
than implementing amazing
security for their own
operating system. They
send their advancements
upstream, to be included in
all Linux distributions!
12. Security-Enhanced Linux
Authentication
Before running any scripts that could compromise your computer's security and integrity, an
administrator password must be given. This includes modifying files outside of your home
directory, and installing packages other than from the package manager.
13. Choose Your Desktop Environment
Lots of Spins
Aside for the main desktop
environments, there are several
other “spins” of Fedora. Some of
these are Games, Designer-suite,
and Robotics. Each spin has a
unique design goal, but all of them
have the power of Fedora behind
them.
KDE, LXDE, Xfce
There are several official desktop
environments that Fedora supports
as spins. The one shown at left is
KDE.
All Customizable
Being Fedora Linux at the core, almost all of the spins are customizable to the user's content.
Spins are a personal Fedora, just for you.
