I think the most easiest way to upgrade Fedora 12 to Fedora 13 is use Preupgrade, which download needed packages from the server and then just reboot to installer and after install boot the new system. This guide I use preupgrade-cli version, which works from command line. If you want use Preupgrade Graphical version then you can check this Howto upgrade Fedora 11 to Fedora 12 with Preupgrade guide, which works same way with Fedora 13 (Goddard). It’s important backup your important files before upgrading.
This is guide with screenshots, howto install Fedora (currently Fedora 13) with gPXE and BFO (boot.fedoraproject.org). BFO combines a series of recent technologies to produce a new boot stack. The glue that holds everything together is gPXE. Boot method is similar to PXE Boot. It uses very small images (iso, floppy, disk) to bootstrap a machine that then contacts a remote server for boot information.
Why Should Use BFO Instaed of Normal Installer Image? The BFO downloads are very small and once you have them, you’ll rarely have to download more. Even as more versions of Fedora come out, you just boot from your iso and they will appear. Users with fast internet connections will have the best experience with BFO. They basically replace having to regularly download large CD/DVD ISO images and burn them to disk. gPXE supports following techniques HTTP, DNS, TFTP, AoE, iSCSI, bzImage, COMBOOT, ELF, Multiboot, PXE, PXEXT.
Quick guide, howto remove and disable YUM/DNF repo (repository). Yum/DNF command itself does not contain any way to remove the repository. YUM and DNF repo files are located in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.
I use skype-stable.repo file with following content as example on this guide:
[skype-stable] name=skype (stable) baseurl=https://repo.skype.com/rpm/stable/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY Remove YUM/DNF Repo (Repository) Permanently Before deleting repository permanently is a good idea to check that is the repository installed using rpm package. As many repos usually are, like RPM-Fusion, Epel, etc.
Package change log information is not directly available from the YUM package management. This is short guide howto enable (install) changelog plugin and use changelog information with YUM package management system.

I wrote “Howto Install ATI Drivers (Mesa 3D DRI Experimental) on Fedora 12 Linux” a few months ago, because there is no way to install ATI’s proprietary drivers on Fedora 12. And the situation is no better either with Fedora 13.
I can’t understand, that why AMD can’t publish new ATI graphics card drivers for new Linux kernels and X.org. For example, the nVidia Linux driver releases succeed as easily as the Windows drivers. Well, fortunately, there is a reasonably effective alternative for ATI’s proprietary drivers. Simply use Fedora 13 own integrated ATI radeon drivers (3D support for R600 and R700 cards and 2D support for R800 cards). This radeon drivers has moved out of experimental status on Fedora 13 release.
Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1 is released June 24, 2010. Thunderbird 3.1 found on Fedora 14 and Fedora 13, but this version is not coming in earlier Fedora releases.

First thing is good to make clear the difference between Chromium and Google Chrome. Chromium is the open-source project behind Google Chrome. Biggest difference between Chromium and Google Chrome is that the Chromium is development version and Google Chrome is tested version of Chromium. A more detailed clarification differences between Chromium and Google Chrome can be found here.
Earlier I write guide, howto install Google Chrome (Stable, Beta or Unstable) on Fedora using YUM. And this is guide, howto Install Chromium on Fedora 16, Fedora 15, Fedora 14 and Fedora 13 using YUM.

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP) server is very powerful server setup behind any website or web based service. This guide is collection of Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL), Apache, MariaDB/MySQL and PHP install guides.
Today the Internet is full of instructions, which promises a LAMP server installation with a “One-Liner”, and so forth. In fact, these “One-Liner” instructions assume that, Linux is already installed and installs just AMP (Apache, MariaDB/MySQL, PHP) pakages, without any configuration. AMP programs can be installed with one command easily, of course, but the correct configuration have to be done anyway, especially if the environment is going to production use.
This is quick tip, howto downgrade packages using YUM (example) on Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat (RHEL). This works simply with yum downgrade command and is very usefull when package(s) downgrade is needed some reason.
YUM Downgrade Basic Usage Downgrade is very straightforward when package have not any dependencies, which affect the downgrade.
YUM Downgrade Single Package yum downgrade package Example: yum downgrade hunspell-mr.noarch Setting up Downgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-5.fc13 set to be downgraded ---> Package hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-6.fc14 set to be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Downgrading: hunspell-mr noarch 20060920-5.fc13 fedora 62 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Downgrade 1 Package(s) Total download size: 62 k Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: hunspell-mr-20060920-5.fc13.noarch.rpm | 62 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : hunspell-mr-20060920-5.fc13.noarch 1/2 Cleanup : hunspell-mr-20060920-6.fc14.noarch 2/2 Removed: hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-6.fc14 Installed: hunspell-mr.noarch 0:20060920-5.fc13 Complete! YUM Downgrade Package Which Have Dependencies YUM downgrade is more difficult with packages that have dependencies. YUM downgrade does not resolve dependencies automatically, so it must be done manually.
