Dear Readers, We decided to close the year 2006 with a bang. That's why, here we are with December 2006 issue of LINUX For You - Fedora special. This issue has Fedora Core 6 bundled with it and also carries a detailed review of the same along with the history of the Fedora project including some interviews of the top shots.
Also, we have detailed stories on the recent Oracle announcement to provide support for Red Hat Linux where we analyse what has happened and try to find out from the industry what the implications of this move would be.
