This is a draft.
The following questions are frequently asked during linux events:
here is hopefully more information that might be useful on future occasions, taken from the different Official Fedora mailing lists.
- How Fedora can be useful to disabled persons(eyes)? (thanks KDE for being useful here)
KDE and GNOME are settling down on AT-SPI based libraries and there is potentially increase cross pollination between applications build on them. It makes sense to highlight that.
- Why Fedora Core (FC4 and FC5) default kernels have issues ? How about the testing behind it ?
FC5 GA kernel definitely shows that core developers in Fedora do not test it actively against non-free software. Others could potentially do that.
- Can I have a livecd of Fedora ?
Hopefully a formal release by FC6.
- Why do my firefox have so much language packs as extensions which most of the time I don't need ?
Its a transient issue. We need to figure out a better way to do this.
- Fedora is known to be providing ONLY gpl'ed packages why do aiglx and Fedora directory server respectively require proprietary drivers and Sun Java ?
AIGLX doesnt necessarily depend on any proprietary driver. Intel i810 works fine for example. Fedora directory server is a large piece of formerly proprietary product that is still being "freed". With Red Hat's long standing investments in GCJ it is one of the priorities. I am hoping that Fedora directory server is less of a silo in the future than it is currently.
- In Fedora /sbin is not in the PATH for _su_ example ifconfig but as su -, /sbin is in the PATH? other distros like Mandriva and Suse it is not the case. Why?
