Fedora 12 - GNOME (Operating System)

Fedora 12 (Linux Operating system)
What is the Fedora Project?
The Fedora Project is a partnership of free software community members from around the globe. The Fedora Project builds open source software communities and produces a Linux distribution called "Fedora."



Our Mission
The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
Elements of Fedora's Mission

• The three elements of this mission are clear:
  The Fedora Project always strives to lead, not follow.
  The Fedora Project consistently seeks to create, improve, and spread free/libre code and content.
  The Fedora Project succeeds through shared action on the part of many people throughout our community.

Our Core Values
The Fedora Project's core values, or Foundations, are set out on their own wiki page. We strongly believe in the bedrock principles that created all the components of our operating system, and because of this we guarantee that Fedora will always be free for anybody, anywhere, to use, modify and distribute.





Our Community
Fedora is more than just software, though. It is a community of contributors from around the world, including volunteers and Red Hat employees, who work with each other to advance the interests of the free culture movement. Everyone is invited to join, and no matter what your skills are, we have a place for you in our community! The Fedora community includes software engineers, artists, system administrators, web designers, writers, speakers, and translators -- all of whom will be happy to help you get started.
Our Method
Fedora is a center for innovation in free and open source software, and creates a community where contributors of all kinds -- developers, documenters, artists, system administrators, and other free software and open source enthusiasts -- come together to advance the ecosystem for the benefit of everybody. The Fedora community contributes everything it builds back to the free and open source world and continues to make advances of significance to the broader community, as evidenced by the regular and rapid incorporation of its features into other Linux distributions. Regardless of which Linux distribution you use, you are relying on code developed within the Fedora Project.
Why Is the Fedora Project Different?
We try to always do the right thing, and provide only free and open source software. We will fight to protect and promote solutions that anyone can use and redistribute. To this end, we use only free and open source software to power the Fedora infrastructure itself. With this in mind, all of our developers are focused on working closely with upstream, so everyone can benefit from our work and get access to our changes as soon as possible. Due to the huge amount of innovation that Fedora drives, this focus has had significant and long lasting effects.
The reverse is also true: by sticking close to upstream development teams, Fedora often gets the latest software before anybody else. Not only does this benefit our community, but it also benefits the upstream teams by providing a much larger audience and more feedback for them. Another striking difference of Fedora is our goal to empower others to pursue their vision of what a free operating system should be like. Fedora now forms the basis for derivative distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the One Laptop Per Child XO, and Creative Commons' Live Content DVDs. And that's not all. It is just as easy for individuals to create their own distribution, thanks to Fedora's easy remixing tools. These tools allow you to quickly select the packages you want, and create live images for CD/DVD or USB, or installation discs.

openSUSE is a free and Linux-based operating system for your PC, Laptop or Server. You can surf the web, manage your e-mails and photos, do office work, play videos or music and have a lot of fun!openSUSE is driven by the openSUSE Project community and sponsored by Novell, to develop and maintain SUSE Linux distributions components. It is the equivalent of the historic "SuSE Linux Professional". After their acquisition of SUSE Linux, Novell has decided to make the community an important part of their development process.Beyond the distribution, the openSUSE Project provides a web portal for community involvement. The community assists in developing openSUSE collaboratively with representatives from Novell by contributing code through the openSUSE Build Service, writing documentation, designing artwork, fostering discussion on open mailing lists and in Internet Relay Chat channels, and improving the openSUSE site through its wiki interface. Novell markets openSUSE as the best, easiest distribution for all users.[5]Like most distributions, openSUSE includes both a default graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface option. During installation, the user may choose among KDE, GNOME and Xfce GUIs. openSUSE supports thousands of software packages across the full range of Free software / open source development.

The Google Nexus One - The Advantages

Cell phones have been becoming more and more sophisticated over the years. They are almost small computers as opposed to just phones. Google has been developing the Android platform that is now on many popular phones and will even be developed into a netbook platform in the near future. Google has decided to take the jump into the cell phone hardware market by making the Nexus One. It will be Google's personalized version of their Android phone platform.
There are some significant advantages to the end user by buying this Android phone versus other Android phones on the market.
First, Google has stated that there will be some specialized features. They have not released what these might be yet, but for those that are on this platform they will get some extras that other Android phones do not have.
Second, this phone is completely unlocked. There are no restrictions that are artificially put into the phone like many networks do when they make a version of a phone. This means that the end user will be able to add any Android applications and use any functionality with the only limit being the hardware in the phone. It's rare to have complete and total freedom over the devices that you get to use as this freedom is generally severely limited by being locked out of parts of the system.
What is nice about this is that most phone vendors keep a severe limit of control over your phone and it's applications. The unlocked Nexus One will feel a bit more like your computer where you can install and remove software freely as a user instead of being locked away and controlled by a company or network.
With an unlocked phone, as long as your network supports the basic functionality, you will be able to use this phone as you wish. With such an open platform, the application possibilities really are limitless just like internet applications or desktop applications are.
