       My guilty pleasure is old IT books (can I hashtag it as #RetroComputing ?). So I bought another treasure. It's a Russian translation of "Red Hat Fedora 4 Unleashed" by Andrew Hudson et al. Pretty huge tome (~1100 pages) from 2006. Blessed times indeed.It covers everything from installation to administration to desktop usage to Python/PHP programming (in a nutshell).Sweet bonus is a Fedora 4 installation DVD.Rest assured, I immediately proceeded to the installation in a VM.#Fedora #RedHat

       Installation went smoothly with absolutely no issues. Also, this is anaconda from ~2005.What's interesting, by default anaconda creates ext3 partition for /boot and LVM group with ext3 volume for / and volume for swap.

       Remember the times when #Gnome was cool?

       Alas, Firefox 1.0.4 is not up to the task anymore.
