A Solution. An Adventure.
Just ask yourself one question, “What do I want to accomplish today?”

Here are some ideas:


 * I just discovered Fedora. How do I install it? I’ve installed it, now where are the applications? Can I customize my desktop, and if so, how?
 * I’m not sure how to capture video with my webcam. Can someone show me, step by step, how to set it up and share the recording?
 * I’m a developer. What tools are available on Fedora for Python? Does Fedora provide a web server with PHP? How do I set up Ruby on Rails so that I can create a web application? Where do I find more Gems, Eggs, Pears and Modules?
 * I use Evolution and have an idea for an improvement. Can I contact Evolution’s developers? Could I even participate in designing a feature for the next version?
 * I want to talk about Fedora. How do I share my blog with the Fedora Community?

Browse the categories below and explore all the possibilities Fedora has to offer. (If you already know what you’re looking for, use the search (Is there going to be a search feature?)). Can’t find a video that matches your needs? Let the community know.

Whether you're looking at your Fedora desktop as a gateway to an exciting new adventure or you already know what you want to do and just need instructions, Fedora videos can help you complete your goals today and in the future.
