fedora linux download image
joezen777
Or I'm wanting to build a Linux platform machine so I can install vmware to run a windows install. What do you think is the best Linux/opensource installer to use for this? I have an older AMD Athlon 2.6ghz 2gb ram asus board. Thanks
Answer
Depends on your level of knowledge. Fedora has a 6 month release cycle and is the "bleeding edge" test distro for Red Hat. Fedora can and usually does have a lot of bugs, but this is expected, and Fedora assumes that it's users are knowledgeable enough to know how to fix and report them.
Ubuntu is a giant...and after it's climb to fame, has been slowly decreasing in quality. Some of it's derivatives such as Linux Mint are still usable as the developers do not release until "it's ready" instead of holding true to release cycle dates.
PClinuxOS. Everything Works out of the box, has it's own policy manager. Works great on all my machines. Downside, it's 32bit only (shouldn't matter for you though).
openSUSE; Their release will be out in 6 days. This is a great distro with a focus on security. Other than needing to install a few proprietary codecs and drives (just like in fedora), openSUSE has always seemed far more stable than Fedora and is defiantly worth looking into.
I would try openSUSE, Linux Mint, and PClinuxOS and choose between those three.

Is Fedora still the best Linux installer to download?

1. I didn't know that Fedora was ever considered to have the "best" installer.
2. Any modern Linux distribution should be perfectly capable of running VMWare, including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Mandriva.

i just tried googling and it came up with too many options (sort of confusing). I need to know where I can download the OS installation image for a 32-bit PC. Thank you.

Well it's like this...
If you want Fedora Core 7 you can download it from:
http://www.madtux.org/select.php?distro=Fedora
If you want Fedora Core 6 you can download it from: http://www.distromania.com/distro_info.php?distro=811
BUT FIRST!
What type of computer processor do you have? It matters. Go here to learn what version to down load:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-which-arch.html
You might want to go here to better understand what you're up against, and for ftp download links.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download#Understand
And finally. You do know how to burn an ISO disc, don't you? I use Easy ISO, it's free and it really is easy. Find it at http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2499
