818 Appendix A . Media Fedora Core 4 Linux The DVD includes the entire Fedora Core 4 distribution that normally comes on four installation CDs. This is the recommended Linux distribution for trying out most of the procedures in this book. You can install Fedora Core 4 directly from the DVD without having to create CDs from the DVD to install separately. Because the complete Fedora Core 4 Linux distribution is included, you have access to a broad range of software packages (more than 1,600), allowing you to get a feel for using Linux as a desktop, server, or programmer s workstation. Details on installing and using Fedora Core 4 are in Chapter 8. If you find that you like Fedora Core 4, consider getting Red Hat Fedora and Enterprise Linux 4 Bible (Wiley Publishing, 2005) to learn more about that distribution. While some of the material overlaps with this book s, you will get more complete coverage of installation and different kinds of servers available with Fedora Core 4.

Then, follow the installation instructions in Chapter 10. KNOPPIX Linux The KNOPPIX 4.0 LiveCD Linux distribution is configured to boot by default from the DVD that comes with this book.
