Fedora is a very popular Linux-based OS. Created as a general-purpose operating system, Fedora is a secure and stable option to run on your new CyberStore Storage Appliance. Widely accepted as one of the smoother Linux distributions around, it is used by large number of developers around world.
Installation of Fedora is pretty simple and quite painless, however if you would like to avoid the process altogether you can have one of our skilled Broadberry engineers handle the installation process for you.

Fedora is one of the better performing operating systems available with strong performance matched with impressive efficiency allowing for smooth and consistent performance.
Well known for its speed, Fedora is one of the fastest booting operating systems around. Virtualisation and graphics are two areas where Fedora performs very well.
Its 6-month rolling release schedule is great for those who want a good balance between regular updates and stability.
Fedora is a secure OS with strong security features. The system includes a firewall that can limit connections, both incoming and outgoing. The kernel memory access is restricted, protecting it from being wrongly overwritten. Full disk and file level encryption are provided by Fedora.
Being open source, Fedora has an advantage over proprietary software as its source code is free to view. The chances of security flaws and weaknesses being missed by developers is less likely when there are a large number of eyes on it. Whereas with proprietary software the source code is unavailable to the public and can only be viewed by a handful of developers, increasing the risk of security tools slipping through.
The latest version features a new modular repository. It allows users more choice over their updates, as you will be able to updates specific elements at your own speed.
You can install thousands of different software apps that have been created by the wider Fedora community. These apps are regularly updated, however by upgrading you will also automatically receive the updates, saving you having to find and update them yourself.
As per the declaration of the Fedora Project, Fedora software is "always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.". As it is open source, it enjoys many of the advantages that come with that.
Because the source code is free for anyone to view, the software is more reliable and secure than it would be if it was a proprietary software. You already know what you are getting into when you use Fedora, everything is out in the open and there are no hidden secrets.
This option is very cost-effective, saving you money that you could have spent on paid software.
There is a large community of developers and users around Fedora. Finding answers to queries is easy, as online forums and social media is full of active developers and Fedora users that can quickly provide help.
Fedora is a very popular Linux distro, second only to Ubuntu. This popularity is a critical factor in why the community around this software is so large and active.
