The administrators and moderators so far had no problem with this thread but if you believe there is a problem you can just close it or delete it.

It would be nice if the "Core" word was removed from the Title/Subject since that's obsolete

If it's your guide this bit needs to be removed (including the first reboot)

Reboot

For GeForce FX cards

su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia-173xx xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx \ xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-173xx-libs.i686'

If you use a PAE kernel

su -c 'yum install kmod-nvidia-173xx-PAE'

Reason, there is currently no 173xx support for F16.

Thank You for the guide, I need to read through it for sure.

I could be wrong here but the sudo part shows
"and with your cursor pointing on # press x If you don't want to be prompted for your root password each time you use the sudo command go to this line:"
I believe sudo prompts for the users password, but I didn't know you could tell it to stop bugging you for it. Thanks.

everyone has their favorites, for the useful application would include

sudo yum install mc nano htop -y

Thanks for the notice leigh123linux, I've corrected it.

PatMcLJr, yeap you can make sudo stop asking each time for the root password. Of course this isn't secure but you decide.

mc and htop are indeed useful applications. Regarding the text editor I prefer vim but nano is surely much easier to use.

I should add a section with useful terminal applications including all those. Thanks for the idea PatMcLJr.

There really isn't any.

those options became configuration option in /sys or /proc/sys.

Well, other than disabling debug...

When I get around to modifying my guide for 18 I'm going to try get insync working, it apparently syncs all of Google Apps.

I have it installed and working, it isn't too hard if I remember correctly, you simply install insync, add the gnome-shell extension and your away.
