James Japan's Fedora 7 Post Installation Guide
Introduction
The page consists of tips and tweaks I did in Fedora 7 after the basic installation in order to get all the applications I use running the way they should. It is divided into two sections, essential tweaks and personal perferences. The essential tweaks section will show you how to install needed plugins, like Flash Media to watch videos on youtube and video.google.com. Most plugins in Windows can be installed automatically, but most Linux distributions like Fedora still require you to install them manually. But hey, this is what makes Linux fun! One reason I wrote this page is because I myself cannot remember all these long commands. I probably refer to my own Linux pages more than anybody.
Some of the tweaks I covered in Fedora Core 6 applies to 7 as well. So you might also what to see the index of my Fedora Core 6 Post Installation Guide
In order to do some of these tweaks, one needs a basic fundamental knowledge of certain principles. If you are an absolute Linux beginner, please read first my page of Linux Basics for Absolute Beginners
