Version Compatibility and Updates

 < Day Day Up > 



This book was prepared for use with Fedora Core, the successor to Red Hat Linux 9 Personal Edition. Despite the new name, Fedora Core is really just the evolutionary next step in the Red Hat Linux line. A Red Hat Linux 8 or 9 user will feel right at home in Fedora Core — just think of it as a constantly evolving Red Hat Linux 10 with a name change. (I will explain the reasons for the name change and the new features of Fedora Core in Chapter 1.)

For those of you who are still using Red Hat Linux 9 (and who don’t feel the need to upgrade to Fedora Core), I should point out that all of the projects in the book were also tested and are compatible with Red Hat Linux 9 Personal Edition; the links and procedures, when different from those for Fedora Core, are noted in the text.

The world of computers is an exceedingly dynamic thing, however, and there may be changes in the software or the links to the files for projects in the book after the book is released. Any such changes, as well as other updated information and cool software finds, will be posted at the Web site for this book: http://www.edgy-penguins.org/non-geeks.
