FreeSoftwareMagazine: FUDCon London 2005
Edward Macnaghten (mailto:eddy@edlsystems.com) writes his experience on FUDCon London 2005 (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/free_issues/newsletters/fudcon/) on Free Software Magainze (http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/). "It was good to be able to meet and talk with the RedHat guys, and both my understanding of their strategy and respect for their community commitment has increased. Although the conference was by no means perfect, I would like to give RedHat a full ten out of ten for producing it."
Why we should use OpenOffice.org
Joshua Wulf (mailto:jwulf@redhat.com) writes why we should use OpenOffice.org (http://www.livejournal.com/users/jwulf/9021.html) in his blog. "OpenOffice.org (OOo) is an open source free office suite for producing word processor documents, slide presentations, spreadsheets, and now with version 2.0, databases. You get the drift.

Kernel Security Update fixes NVIDIA issue
Although this security advisory (http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-808.html) was released for RHEL4, it's worth take a note if you're experiencing system instability when using the NVIDIA driver (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168936) on your Fedora Core or if you know anyone using RHEL4.

REVIEW: New Linux (FC4) with an Old Laptop
Here is another review of FC4 (http://linux-blog.org/index.php?/archives/107-New-Linux-with-an-Old-Laptop-Fedora-Core-4.html). "All in all I’m very pleased with this latest incarnation of Fedora but I think what it really lacks is a Mandriva or SUSE style central configuration tool. I’m very fond of being able to control everything from one place rather than having to hunt through menus for various applications to configure different parts of the system."
Fedora Core 4 Updates
During the week of October 24 - October 30, Fedora Project released 11 Fedora Core 4 Updates including 2 Security Advisories.
