Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN – Part 2: Clean install of 38

Fedora Linux 38 is out ‘n I’m doing a two part series on how to do a System Upgrade & a Clean install of Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN. Part 1 covered upgrading from previous releases 36 & 37. This is Part 2 ‘n I will be doing a clean installation using the Anaconda installer, and then showing a few ‘Tweaks‘ in post-installation.

Anaconda is a fairly sophisticated installer‘ — which, IMHO, stops more users from giving Fedora Linux a try. However, even tho the installer is considered a “fairly sophisticated” one, is not that difficult to use—not once you figure out how to “Reclaim Disk Space” on the Target disk.

I’ll be installing Fedora 38 to a 64GB SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 Flash Drive, but will be using Anaconda installer pics from a previous post on a Fedora 37 installation, so don’t let the difference in disk sizes distract you — as they say, ‘Size doesn’t matter‘. 😉

Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN – Part 1: Upgrade from 36 & 37

Fedora Linux 38 is out ‘n I’ll be doing a two part series on Fedora Linux 38 Cinnamon SPIN. This post is Part 1 ‘n will be on the System Upgrades I have just done — two upgrades from Fedora 37 ‘n one upgrade from Fedora 36. Part 2 will be doing a clean installation using the Anaconda installer.

Fedora Linux makes a great portable OS ‘n I have it install on two USBs — a 64 GB SanDisk Ultra for its portability & a 64 GB SanDisk Ultra Fit that stays plugged into a switched SABRENT 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub. The 7 port hub holds two other Linux Distros that I use ‘n test at various times on my ‘Rose‘ main Test Machine. Both of those are now upgraded to Fedora 38. The other upgrade of Fedora Linux was done on a converted Samsung Chromebook, i.e., now a Fedora Linux 38 Laptop/Tablet/Sketchbook — ‘Sam‘.

Springdale Linux (SDL) 8.7 – ‘Headed to Princeton University’s Peyton Hall?’

Peyton Hall holds the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, and rumor has it that they use Springdale Linux there. If you’re headed there then you probably already knew that.

I once tried to get into Princeton University, before the days of computers ‘n internet, but they rejected me after I had walked ‘n hitchhiked to there from ‘Toilet Seat Cut‘.
