In addition to the _Workstation_ edition, which is described in this guide, there are also _Server_ and _Atomic_ editions: -* The _Server_ edition is designed for server uses and features applications like Cockpit which allows for easy remote management of servers through a web browser. +* The _Server_ edition is designed for server uses, and features applications like Cockpit which allows for easy remote management of servers through a web browser. * The _Atomic_ edition is a minimal version of Fedora optimized for deploying containers. It uses _OStree_ to provide atomic updates. === Fedora Spins -Everything in this guide is about the default _Fedora Workstation_ edition, which uses _GNOME{nbsp}3_ and _GNOME Shell_. Because there are many other popular desktop environments, so called spins offer alternative software builds of Fedora with these environments. Do you prefer the _KDE Plasma Desktop_? You'll find an installation image with it. _Xfce_? _LXDE_? We have prepared installation images for everything. +Everything in this guide is about the default _Fedora Workstation_ edition, which uses _GNOME{nbsp}3_ and _GNOME Shell_.

You'll find an installation image with it. _Xfce_? _LXDE_? We have prepared installation images for everything. You don't have to reinstall your whole system from a spin image if you want to try a different environment, but spin images come with everything preconfigured by default. But we don't have to stop with Fedora spins. The ARM architecture is currently the most used mobile platform and is the platform of choice for development boards like Banana Pi, BeagleBone, or the Raspberry Pi. There are images built to run on these kinds of systems too in the form of server versions or minimal installation images. diff --git a/en-US/credits.adoc b/en-US/credits.adoc index c8c87c0..8e7db74 100644 --- a/en-US/credits.adoc +++ b/en-US/credits.adoc @@ -3,15 +3,14 @@ _Fedora Workstation - A Beginners Guide_ _Project Lead:_ + Jiří Eischmann -_Authors and Proofreading:_ + -Lukáš Kotek, Jiří Eischmann, Brian Exelbierd, Jaromír Hradílek, et. al. +_Authors and Proofreading:_ + +Lukáš Kotek, Jiří Eischmann, Brian Exelbierd, Jaromír Hradílek, et al. -_Typography and Layout:_ + +_Typography and Layout:_ + Petr Čech -_Cover Design:_ + +_Cover Design:_ + Mary Shakshober -_Second Edition Released in September 2018._ + +_Second Edition Released in September 2018._ + _Released under CC BY-SA 3.0_ - From b0d406f6b54fb00cb089189546d97617a0baa80b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Bokoc Date: Nov 07 2018 16:59:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add a missing image --- diff --git a/en-US/img/fedora-media-writer.png b/en-US/img/fedora-media-writer.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..11238a1 Binary files /dev/null and b/en-US/img/fedora-media-writer.png differ
