Fedora 10 - Fire it up



I was thinking of doing it since long, and finally I did it today. Yes !!! today i moved on from Fedora 7 to Fedora 10. I also have used Fedora 9 but it didn't impressed me much, so I switched back to using Fedora 7. This release of Fedora is what Fedora core 6, for the previous versions of Fedora.

This release has a lot of improvements and a loads of eye candy. I specially liked the rhgb replacement called Plymouth. I loved the "Solar" plymouth plugin. It took me some work to get the Solar theme working, but the work was worth it :)

For those of you who are still trying to get the Plymouth theme working, here it goes. Open /etc/grub.conf in your favorite text editor and add the line vga=ask at the end of the "kernel" line, and save the file and reboot the system. When Fedora boots, it will show the possible VGA resolutions for your monitor. Select the resolution that best fits your monitor, and remember the code. After logging in the system, again edit the /etc/grub.conf file and replace vga=ask with the code you selected preceded by 0x. For example vga=0x31b
