INTRODUCTION
Through this Post/ tutorial, I will try to explain to newbies and experts an smoothly moving to Fedora 9. Also, I would explain only those topics that are hard to find on net, or are not well documented anywhere. These are my experience of using Linux/Fedora.

Motto: More and more people realize and get FREE from all the GATES and WINDOWS.

1. Installation
Well, Installation process of Fedora is well documented on www.fedora.org. One thing that these fedora community guys claim, and is to a large extent is true is that they have developed Fedora 9 keeping in mind the needs of newbies to linux. The whole installation process is smooth, without a hitch. Just one thing that you must take care of is the partitioning.

I will explain a test situation which might be a default setting for lots of us. Suppose you have a hardisk of 160 GB. And you want a dual boot on it. Then an ideal Partitioning configuration would be:

• 30 GB - Windows NTFS
  
• 40 GB - Fedora
  
  
  1. 5 GB /home
     
  2. 2 GB SWAP
     
  3. 36 GB - /
     
  
  
• Rest - Data
  

Rest I think, would be smooth. If you have Nvidia Graphics card, then you might face problem starting the anaconda software, the installer. For this you should ask your vendor to supply you with proper drivers.

** One more thing that you must keep in mind during the time setting is the time Zone. Set the time Zone same as greenwich Mean time. Don't set your local time zone, if you are using dual boot systems. The problem with local time is that the time in windows and linux would then not be synchronous.

Nice intro. I hope that you will write down the rest of the contents very soon. Else, this would not really be a tutorial...
