Use for Linux(Fedora)

Fedora is a nice Linux distribution developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and Sponsored by Red Hat. Here I will list some contents of Fedora when I using it.

Installation

Win10+Fedora with 2 drives: 250GB SSD and 500GB HDD.

After Win10 installed, there are 125GB SSD and 233GB HDD left. I want to install root(/), swap, boot, boot-efi on SSD and install home(/home) on HDD. I have to creat two Volumn Group to make sure the root(/) and home(/home) are mounted at two partitions.

There may be a bug that the maximum boot size for ext4 file system is 1024KB, but the minimum size for installation is 200MB. I choose EFI System Partition instead and set 1024MB size, then reselect ext4. The problem seems to be solved but I don’t know why.

Repository

We use DNF as a tool to manage the RPM packages and download software from repository, such as fedora.repo, fedora-update.repo. However, official repositories are slowly downloaded for us at home, we need to use Domestic mirrors instead. The third part mirrors are in the following.

• 163:

wget http://mirrors.163.com/.help/fedora-163.repo
wget http://mirrors.163.com/.help/fedora-updates-163.repo

• aliyun

wget http://mirrors.aliyun.com/repo/fedora.repo
wget http://mirrors.aliyun.com/repo/fedora-updates.repo

There are some useful mirrors in the mean while

• FZUG

  a Fedora software repo of Chinese community.

• RPMfusion

We can choose the fastest mirror by setting fastestmirror=true in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf after Fedora 22. the installation is as following

dnf clean all
download *.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/
dnf makecache

Systemd

systemd is a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux system. It provides a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system.
