Things to do after installing fedora
Here is a quick list of things to do after install fedora 17 for a perfect desktop or a most usable desktop for an average PC User. For a Complete desktop for a user we need more soft-wares for MP3, DVD and Video playback/recording etc. For this reason you have to install that software from third party repositories. RPM Fusion is a third party repository consists all of other softwares for better media support. Also Livna Repos handle some non free stuff for media editing.
Configure sudo
* Modifying sudoers file Normally if you want to run a command which requires root privileges you first have to type 'su -', type your root password and then type the command. However you can bypass this by using the 'sudo' command. But first you have to configure it like this
su --login -c 'visudo'
Now go below the line:
root
ALL=(ALL)
ALL
press a, and type the following
username ALL=(ALL)
ALL
where username is the username you use to login. Next press Escape. Now, if you want to be prompted for your root password each time you use the sudo command go to this line:
# %wheel
ALL=(ALL)
ALL
and with your cursor pointing on # press x If you don't want to be prompted for your root password each time you use the sudo command go to this line:
# %wheel
ALL=(ALL)
NOPASSWD: ALL
and with your cursor pointing on # press x Next, press :wq to save and exit. (type the : as well) * Adding your user to the wheel groupJust type: su -c 'gpasswd -a username wheel' * Testing sudo
To test if you have done it correctly as a simple user type:
$ sudo whoami
If everything is working properly the command should return the word 'root'.
Configure yum
Fedora uses YUM to install and update its software and automatically resolve any dependencies needed. Fedora software repositories don't include support for MP3, DVD and Video playback/recording because of patent licenses. For this reason you have to install that software from third party repositories. But don't worry, this is pretty easy! ;) * RPMFusion repository Now we are going to install the RPM Fusion Repository. RPM Fusion is a merger of the Dribble, Freshrpms and RPM Fusion package repositories for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A variety of applications is included in that repository such as codecs for mp3 and unencrypted DVDs, multimedia applications such as mplayer, VLX and xine and the closed source Nvidia and ATi video drivers! RPM Fusion has two main repositories: one named "free" for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines) which can't be included in Fedora because it might be patent encumbered in the USone named "nonfree" for non-free software, that is everything else which can't be in free; this includes software with public available source-code that has "no commercial use"-like restrictions. For the rest of this guide I will assume that you have installed and enabled the RPM Fusion Repository. To install it type:
su yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.no arch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-releasestable.noarch.rpm yum update
* Google repository First we must install the key
su yum install wget wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub
Fedora 32bit Add the following to a file called google.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/:
[google] name=Google - i386 baseurl=http://dl. google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl. google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Alternative Desktop Environments
01 July 2011 Many users who find Gnome 3.x difficult to use should try an alternative desktop environment. The following are supported by Fedora. Note these are all optional. Use yum to install them if you so wish: KDE is a full featured desktop like Gnome. However it does things in a different style. This is the most comprehensive desktop next to Gnome ( more info). To install:
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo yum groupinstall "KDE Software Compilation"

[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo yum groupinstall LXDE

Install Microsoft fonts
Fedora uses Liberation and DejaVu fonts which are installed by default and look pretty smooth and nice, plus they are open source. If you insist on using the Microsoft fonts you can download and install the msttcorefonts rpm like this.

I built it myself using the msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.spec from Fedora-devel mailing list. It includes Arial, Andale, Comic Sans, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and Webdings fonts. The procedure just in case you want to build it yourself is the following.
su -c 'yum install rpmdevtools rpm-build cabextract' rpmdev-setuptree cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ wget http://www.my-guides.net/en/images/stories/fedora12/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.sp ec rpmbuild -bb msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.spec cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ su -c 'rpm -ivh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm'

Things to do after installing fedora
Here is a quick list of things to do after install fedora 17 for a perfect desktop or a most usable desktop for an average PC User. For a Complete desktop for a user we need more soft-wares for MP3, DVD and Video playback/recording etc. For this reason you have to install that software from third party repositories. RPM Fusion is a third party repository consists all of other softwares for better media support. Also Livna Repos handle some non free stuff for media editing.
Configure sudo
* Modifying sudoers file Normally if you want to run a command which requires root privileges you first have to type 'su -', type your root password and then type the command. However you can bypass this by using the 'sudo' command. But first you have to configure it like this
su --login -c 'visudo'
Now go below the line:
root
ALL=(ALL)
ALL
press a, and type the following
username ALL=(ALL)
ALL
where username is the username you use to login. Next press Escape. Now, if you want to be prompted for your root password each time you use the sudo command go to this line:
# %wheel
ALL=(ALL)
ALL
and with your cursor pointing on # press x If you don't want to be prompted for your root password each time you use the sudo command go to this line:
# %wheel
ALL=(ALL)
NOPASSWD: ALL
and with your cursor pointing on # press x Next, press :wq to save and exit. (type the : as well) * Adding your user to the wheel groupJust type: su -c 'gpasswd -a username wheel' * Testing sudo
To test if you have done it correctly as a simple user type:
$ sudo whoami
If everything is working properly the command should return the word 'root'.
Configure yum
Fedora uses YUM to install and update its software and automatically resolve any dependencies needed. Fedora software repositories don't include support for MP3, DVD and Video playback/recording because of patent licenses. For this reason you have to install that software from third party repositories. But don't worry, this is pretty easy! ;) * RPMFusion repository Now we are going to install the RPM Fusion Repository. RPM Fusion is a merger of the Dribble, Freshrpms and RPM Fusion package repositories for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. A variety of applications is included in that repository such as codecs for mp3 and unencrypted DVDs, multimedia applications such as mplayer, VLX and xine and the closed source Nvidia and ATi video drivers! RPM Fusion has two main repositories: one named "free" for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines) which can't be included in Fedora because it might be patent encumbered in the USone named "nonfree" for non-free software, that is everything else which can't be in free; this includes software with public available source-code that has "no commercial use"-like restrictions. For the rest of this guide I will assume that you have installed and enabled the RPM Fusion Repository. To install it type:
su yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.no arch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-releasestable.noarch.rpm yum update
* Google repository First we must install the key
su yum install wget wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub
Fedora 32bit Add the following to a file called google.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/:
[google] name=Google - i386 baseurl=http://dl. google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl. google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Alternative Desktop Environments
01 July 2011 Many users who find Gnome 3.x difficult to use should try an alternative desktop environment. The following are supported by Fedora. Note these are all optional. Use yum to install them if you so wish: KDE is a full featured desktop like Gnome. However it does things in a different style. This is the most comprehensive desktop next to Gnome ( more info). To install:
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo yum groupinstall "KDE Software Compilation"
LXDE is a lightweight desktop environment. It is very useful for older computers. It takes up much less space than Gnome or KDE. It maybe similar to older version of Windows ( more info). To install:
[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo yum groupinstall LXDE
Xfce is lightweight desktop environment similar to LXDE. It also consumes less resources than Gnome and many users will find it similar to much older versions of Gnome ( more info). To install:

Note: Xfce is my personal recommendation/choice
Install Microsoft fonts
Fedora uses Liberation and DejaVu fonts which are installed by default and look pretty smooth and nice, plus they are open source. If you insist on using the Microsoft fonts you can download and install the msttcorefonts rpm like this.
wget http://www.my-guides.net/en/images/stories/fedora12/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.no arch.rpm su -c 'rpm -ivh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm'
I built it myself using the msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.spec from Fedora-devel mailing list. It includes Arial, Andale, Comic Sans, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times, Trebuchet MS, Verdana and Webdings fonts. The procedure just in case you want to build it yourself is the following.
su -c 'yum install rpmdevtools rpm-build cabextract' rpmdev-setuptree cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/ wget http://www.my-guides.net/en/images/stories/fedora12/msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.sp ec rpmbuild -bb msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.spec cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ su -c 'rpm -ivh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm'
Now you can change your fonts through System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts
