November 23, 2015 Fedora 23 notes follow: [an update begun last night]
Fedora 23’s final distribution release came out on November 3, a few days past its initial targetted date. I completed my ultimate (for now) Fedora 23 installation (of several tentative early tries) circa November 17 2015. I have been using the current Fedora as my primary operating system in Thor, my 2010 AMD hex core main computer since then. [I keep a Linux Mint [17.2 now] machine, the slightly slower, 6 month older Intel quad core machine that mainly use to display real time weather, NIST time of day, news and weekday financial markets activity.
I accomplish several immediate goals by this installation:
[ x ] — I get the latest Open Office Version: 5.0.3.2
[ x ] — I get the latest GIMP 2.8.14
[ x ] — I get the latest GNU Emacs 24.5.1 , my text editing tool for BASH & other low level coding pursuits
[ x ] — I get the latest Wine, which allows me to run my one occasional Windows XP application, the 2005 purchased AutoSketch version 9 two dimensional drafting tool that I know well how to use. [A case of legacy if ever ther was one :-)> ]
[ x ] — My usual Thunderbird e-mail client
[ x ] — The latest Firefox browser, with which I am entering this morning’s WP post to my site
