My question is: Is there a big enough difference between Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 14 that I would not be able to use 14 instead of 4?

I'd also like to learn about the pros and cons of using Linux and again if someone can give me directions to a useful source of information, I'll be happy with that. (might even get back into writing code!)
I'd like to find out how to ensure I load the correct drivers for my laptop and where I can find these.
I suppose I could buy a Linux for Dummies book but I suspect that is aimed at writing code which is not what I want to do (at least, initially).
I have a fairly aged Pentium 4, RAID, desktop computer with Fed 11. I started off with the 686 PAE kernel and update it whenever the update software tells me to. Some time ago I downloaded an NVidia driver which said it needed the 586 kernel so I installed that as well.I then uninstalled the NVidia driver as it caused some minorish problems without any improvement to the graphics. The bottom line is I now have the last three 686 kernels and the last three 586 kernels, which I'm pretty sure I don't need. The machine seems to run fine whichever I use with no discerable differences.My questions are, what is the difference between the two types, which should I actually use and how do I get rid of the other. It would at the very least reduce bandwidth use when updating.

I`m new to Fedora (but not to Linux generally) and maybe I made some kind of mistake. I`m not quite sure what logical volumes are and I was a little bit scared to use them. I tried to disable logical volumes and put Fedora on my "classical" volumes (partitions) but they looked quite different from what I expected.

The other day my 7 year old Belkin-G router packed up and I had to buy a new one. I purchased a ZyGEX wireless-N router that claims to be capable of 300mbs communication on my home network. I have five computers networked and on each of them the network speed is only 5 or 6 mps. The reason I ask this question is while I was only getting 54mps speed with my old router, it was much faster than this one.
I also am asking if anyone knows if the adapter on the laptop or desktop not being compatible with wireless-N could be causing this. Is there anyway to increase network speed in such a situation. I might mention that I am only talking about the speed within my home network, not the broadband download and upload speeds (which is also crap, but not related to this case.)

1)Say an application is written and is having source files.
2)A file called source rpm package
3)A rpm package
In case of (1) we need to compile using either the make or if we know using appropriate compiler with proper libs included. Can I know what's the difference between (2) and (3)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedNewer versions of both distributions are using the new pulseaudio volume control (I'm not referring to pavucontrol but the main volume control accessible via the volume icon in the panel). However, even though both distros' versions have the identical interface, they clearly do two different things. I've searched for this topic before and have come up with nothing; makes me wonder why no one else seems to have an issue with this.
For Fedora (12 and up) the main slider for the sound card's volume does just that, although the sliders for individual applications use the same "scale." If I drag an application's slider higher than that for the sound card, the "main" slider moves along with it.
In Ubuntu (Lucid and later) the main slider is the same as Fedora's, but the individual applications are scaled differently. Dragging an individual application's slider all the way to the right (100%) sets the maximum volume of this application to that of the sound card, whatever that happens to be at the moment.
In this respect, Ubuntu's individual sliders are relative to the (arbitrary) value set for the sound card, but Fedora's individual sliders are "hard-wired" to the main slider. I'm wondering if it is possible to make Fedora's volume control behave like Ubuntu's, i.e. is there a configuration setting, or is this designated in the source code? I'm sure there is a heated debate over why things are this way in Fedora, however with the new pulseaudio systems, the minimum value for the main slider for my sound card is pretty loud and this makes most audio unlistenable in Fedora, at least through headphones without an on-board volume control.

The 3.4G is correct because we have removed all non essential file but free space reported by df is not consistent with the actual free space that should be there.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an external HDD which I use under Fedora. After finishing with my work, I unmount all the mounted partitions of the external HDD & then proceed to switch it off. The HDD partitions are unmounted but they are still visible(but not mounted) under computer. The HDD still seems to spin. But when I click on "Safely Remove Drive" they disappear from Computer & also the HDD stops spinning albeit the switch on HDD being powered on. So what should I use "Unmount" or "Safely Remove". What is the difference between the two?
