Abstract

To start using Fedora, you must know how to access your Fedora system and, once you are on the system, how to use and configure the desktop. A set of desktop GNOME Settings tools lets you easily configure such features as network access, desktop background, display resolution, and power usage. Access is supported through a graphical login. A simple screen appears with menus for selecting login options and your username.
