Despite the change in both name and how it is produced, the Linux operating system referred to as Fedora Core is a good, free Linux operating system for learning Linux troubleshooting. Red Hat's flagship Red Hat Linux product formed the foundation for the new Fedora Core distribution that is available today.
Linux Troubleshooting Bible is dedicated to bringing you the skills you need to prevent, find, and fix problems with Fedora Core, in particular. The same skills you learn in troubleshooting Fedora can be used for troubleshooting older Red Hat Linux systems and newer Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, as well as a variety of other Linux systems.
Besides the information in this book, there are many other resources available if you want to support Fedora Core systems. The Fedora Project itself sponsors several very active mailing lists where you can ask questions about Fedora features, development, and software fixes. And despite not having a full documentation set dedicated to Fedora, there are many useful documents from Red Hat Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and from individual software projects (included on the Fedora Core CDs) that can be used to find information that applies to Fedora.
Because Fedora is a community-supported distribution, there are many ways you can contribute to the project itself. You can start by filing bug reports when you encounter problems. The Fedora Project also encourages you to contribute code fixes and request for enhancements to help improve Fedora going forward.
