Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that brings the latest in free and open source software to your desktop, laptop and server, and gives you access to thousands of different open source applications. This helpful, user-friendly operating system is built by people across the globe who work together as a community to create the Fedora Project.
Fedora is free to use, modify, and distribute, and includes software that helps you work, play, organize, and socialize. You can read more information about the Fedora Project on our Overview page.

Love working in the most up-to-date languages? Fedora 14 has what you need. Thinking of coding in Python 3 down the road? Get ready now with Fedora's inclusion of Python 2.7, which has increased efficiency in modules, many of which are now feature complete with their Python 3.1 equivalents. Prefer Perl? Check out Rakudo Star, a Parrot virtual-machine -based implementation of Perl 6; it also happens to be the most actively developed implementation. And if you like object-oriented languages, the D programming language may just be for you: it combines the power of languages such as C and C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Ruby and Python.

How to Get Started
Intrigued? Want to give Fedora 14 a try?
You can visit http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora to download a LiveCD, regardless of what operating system you're running. This will give you a working version of Fedora, complete with common applications, all running off your CD drive - your hard drive won't be touched at all. And when you're ready, installation is just a click away.
Want an even more enjoyable way to use Fedora, risk-free? Try the Live USB option. You can use the same download to create a bootable USB stick so you can take Fedora with you anywhere you go. It works great with netbooks without CD drives, too. Check out the instruction page here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB
And if you're running Fedora 13, upgrading is easy. Refer to our handy documentation for help.
