The rest of the install process was quite straightforward, configuring such things as my network settings, host name, time zone and clock as well as setting the root password.

The only file systems on offer were ext2 or ext3 which seemed a little strange, especially as the console showed support for ReiserFS, JFS and XFS. On my MacBook I was also pleased to see that by default Fedora was to install GRUB to the /boot partition (hd0,2) instead of the MBR (hd0) which was clever.

Selecting 'Configure advanced boot loader options' I was happy to see that the boot option 'noapic' that I added at boot time was automatically included for me. I had to manually add them so that when GRUB was installed to the MBR (Master Boot Record) I could still boot to my other systems. Unfortunately the boot loader configuration did not automatically detect my existing Linux installations (even though it had detected the LVM volumes containing them). Selecting this as my / partition I then proceeded to the next screen which was the boot loader. I hit the 'Edit' button after selecting my LVM volume group and created a new logical volume called 'fedora'. My AMD machine uses RAID 5 with LVM (Logical Volume Management) and I was pleasantly surprised to find that upon selecting 'custom partitioning' my RAID arrays and also my LVM configuration were both detected. The installer is graphical, starting X and made use of a mouse to perform most tasks, all in a nice GTK+ environment. The installer quickly booted and prompted me to check the DVD for errors - a very handy tool to ensure that the image you downloaded and have now burned to disk did not become corrupt along the way. So let's begin.ДЄs we have come to expect from modern Linux distributions the initial boot loader was aesthetically pleasing and simply graphically cool. But today the clouds parted, the sun shone through my living room window and with the release of Fedora 7 I knew that now was the time to tempt fate once again. At the time I found myself falling into 'RPM hell' where lack of dependency management drove the end user, me, insane. The last time I used Red Hat was version 5.2 back in 1999 when I was introduced to Linux by Andrew Tridgell (of Samba and rsync fame). New distributions: Linux ICE, NixOS, VDRLive.Upcoming releases: Ubuntu 7.10-alpha1, SabayonLinux 3.4-beta3.Released last week: Fedora 7, Linux Mint 3.0, Zenwalk Linux 4.6.News: Fedora 7, Turbolinux Wizpy, Mandriva shareholders' meeting, SabayonLinux interview, Debian-volatile updates, Emacs 22.1.Finally, as DistroWatch celebrates its 6th birthday, we are pleased to announce that the May 2007 donation was awarded to VectorLinux.

In other news, Turbolinux introduces the world to a media player and portable operating system called Wizpy, Mandriva seeks solutions for its current financial troubles, Gentoo founder comments on SabayonLinux, and Debian updates its 'volatile' infrastructure. Welcome to this year's 23rd issue of DistroWatch Weekly! The release of Fedora 7 last week has been the dominant topic on many Linux web sites and DistroWatch is no exception we'll comment on the release, bring you a first-look review, and present details about the project's upcoming version 8, scheduled for release at the end of October.
