Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone. To find out more about Linux click here.

Fedora Core 1 is a Free Linux distribution sponsored by RedHat, in a sense Fedora is the 10th version of the RedHat line. I am running this distribution on 3 computers, without any problems so far. The installation script (Anaconda) detected all the hardware, so it was pretty easy. These are the configurations:
