== Fedora Core 5 alustamisjuhend ==
See juhend põhineb Linux Center of University of Latvia kirjutatud [http://easylinux.info/wiki/Fedora_fc5 Fedora Core 5 Starter Guide]l.
----
Paljusid asju, mis siinses juhendis on õpetatud saab lihtsamalt teha kasutades [[Fedora Frog]]i
----
== Üldised Märkused ==
* Tegu on Fedora Core 5 alustamisjuhendiga. Antud juhend ei ole mingil moel seotud [[Fedora]] või [[RedHat]]iga.
* Juhend on testitud vaikimisi Fedora Core 5 "Peroisnal computer" paigaldusega vaikimisi pakettidega.
* Juhul, kui näete sinisel taustal kastis teksti, siis peate need käsud käivitama [[Terminal]]is. (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal) või kasutama neid käske vastavalt muudele juhenditele.
* Et vältida kirjutamisel tekkinud apsakaid kopeerige ja kleepige need käsud siit lehelt [[Terminal]]i (parem klikk tähistatud käsul hiirega -> "Copy" või "Paste". Te võite kasutada ka klahvikombinatsioone Ctrl+C kopeerimiseks ja Shift+Insert kleepimiseks)
: '''NB:''' Te peate käivitama need käsud [[root]] kasutaja õigustes. Seega enne jätkamist:
su -
:ja sisetage oma [[root]] kasutaja parool.

* Lugege [[#How to get a shortcut to Root Terminal]]
* Juhul, kui Teile ei meeldi töötada [[Terminalis]] võite paigaldada graafilise [[yum]]-i liidese. Lugege [[#How to install Graphical User Interface for yum]]
* "[[yum]]" ja "[[wget]]" nõuavad internetiühenduse olemasolu, et alla laadida ja paigaldada uuendusi, programme
* Loodetavasti on antud juhendist Teile kasu
* Kui jääte hätte, siis võite abi saamiseks pöörduda [http://pingviin.org/ Pingviini Webi]

*Read [[#How to add extra repositories]]
Yum is a very powerfull package manager. yum will resolve dependencies for you and makes installing applications a breeze. yum also searches, removes, and lists packages for you.
usage: yum [options] < update | install | info | remove | list |
clean | provides | search | check-update | groupinstall |
groupupdate | grouplist | groupinfo | groupremove |
makecache | localinstall | erase | upgrade | whatprovides |
localupdate | resolvedep | shell | deplist >
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-t, --tolerant be tolerant of errors
-C run entirely from cache, don't update cache
-c [config file] config file location
-R [minutes] maximum command wait time
-d [debug level] debugging output level
-e [error level] error output level
-y answer yes for all questions
--version show Yum version and exit
--installroot=[path] set install root
--enablerepo=[repo] enable one or more repositories (wildcards allowed)
--disablerepo=[repo] disable one or more repositories (wildcards allowed)
--exclude=[package] exclude package(s) by name or glob
--obsoletes enable obsoletes processing during updates
--noplugins disable Yum plugins
From a first look this can look rather intimidating, but this is rather easy.
:'''Examples:'''
*To seach for a application
Yum will search all your enabled repos and tell you where you can obtain the package from
yum search application_name
*Yum can list all available packages from your enabled repos and tell you where you can obtain the package from:
yum list available
*To find out more info about some package
yum info application_name
*Installing applications
Inastalling is as easy as
yum install application_name
*Listing rpms
yum can list installed rpms for you from the repos you have enabled
yum list extras
*Removing rpms
Yum can remove a application and the dependenciesit installed with tat application. it will not remove depenencies if another application installed needs them.
yum remove application_name
*Updating the system
Yum can update the system for you with out user interact if you want it to.
yum update
*Not sure if you have upates?
yum check-update
*Local install
downloaded a rpm and cannot install it with rpm because of dependencies?
yum localinstall /path/to/the/rpm
:''Happy yumming...''

== Security ==
==== What are the basic things I need to know about securing my Fedora ====
*Read [[#General Notes]]
*Ensure hard drive is first in BIOS boot-up sequence
**To prevent trespassers from using Linux Installation CD which allows them to gain root user access
**To prevent trespassers from using Linux Live CD (e.g. Fedora/KNOPPIX/MEPIS) which allows them to destroy/browse/share the entire hard drive
**To prevent trespassers from installing another Operating System
*Ensure a password is set for BIOS
**To prevent trespassers from changing the BIOS boot-up sequence
*Ensure computer is located at a secured place
**To prevent trespassers from removing computer's hard drive which allows them to destroy/browse/share the entire hard drive from a different computer
**To prevent trespassers from removing computer's on-board battery which resets the BIOS password
*Ensure passwords used on the system cannot be easily guessed
**To prevent trespassers from cracking password file using brute force attacks (e.g. John the Ripper)
**Create password with minimum length of 8 characters
**Create password with mixture of characters/numbers, and upper/lower case
*Ensure interactive editing control for GRUB menu is disabled
**To prevent trespassers from modifying kernel boot-up arguments which allows them to have root user access
**Read [[#How to disable all interactive editing control for GRUB menu]]
*Ensure history listing is disabled in Console mode
**To prevent trespassers from seeing previously issued commands

*For day to day usage, login as a normal user
**To prevent accidental deletion/modification of system files/folders
**Read [[#How to add/edit/delete system users]]
*Disable root user account, use "sudo" instead
**To reduce the amount of time spent with root privileges, and thus the risk of inadvertently executing a command as root
**"sudo" provides a more useful audit trail (/var/log/auth.log)
**Read [[#How to disable root user account]]
*Install a Firewall
**A firewall does not guarantee security but it is in most environments the first line of defense against network based attacks
