How To Install VirtualBox on Fedora 11
I’m installing VirtualBox on my Fedora machine to test some of the ISO images.
Just to bookmark this content for reference later.

2) Get the kernel-devel package
3) Run the setup file for VirtualBox
4) Add yourself to the “vboxusers” group and fix the SELinux Permissions
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so
5) Run the VirtualBox
6) Get USB Support
2 – locate file usbfs: in my case is /sys/bus/usb/drivers (I suggest to find the file with a usb device inserted;
3 – modify file /etc/fstab inserting a line containing the right path and the number corresponding the “usb” group :
none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=503,devmode=664 0 0
4 – command mount -a;

Why Windows 7? Linux is much better, and is Free.
Why pirated Windows 7?
Get free Linux operating system.
I agreed that Windows 7 is better than Vista, but latest version of Fedora and Ubuntu is much better than Windows 7.
I have been using Fedora on my home PC for more than a year. There may be some problems too in Fedora Linux, the more I learn, the more I like it.
Interesting read, Linux versus Windows 7
EVEN as hundreds of legitimate users queued for hours to buy Microsoft’s new Windows 7 software at its official launch here on Wednesday night, many others did not even move from their computers to get it, downloading bootleg copies off the Internet.
The software, which manages a computer’s operations, is currently the top software download on popular file-sharing sites like Mininova and IsoHunt, both of which have had bootleg copies available since Tuesday. According to the sites’ statistics, thousands of users are downloading the operating system, even now.
Microsoft’s office here has also seen online users on popular local forums discussing ways to download the software giant’s first operating system since 2007′s Windows Vista, said a company spokesman.
Illegal downloads are easily available and convenient, said software industry watchdog Business Software Alliance’s (BSA) senior director of anti-piracy, Mr Tarun Sawney.
According to the BSA, some 36 per cent of computers here last year were running pirated software, a small decrease from 37 per cent in 2007 and 39 per cent in 2006.
So far, the Internet appears to be the only way to get the bootlegs, said a Microsoft spokesman, who noted: ‘We have not seen retailers selling (physical) bootleg copies.’

Fedora 10 Win
After one week are experiencing Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 8, I decided to replace Vista with Fedora 10.
Not than Ubuntu is not good, but simply because I’m more familiar in Redhat/Fedora way of works.
I started learn Linux from Redhat 3 and then SuSe Linux 6 many years ago.
Also, I’m better in rpm and yum commands than deb and apt-get.
Furthermore, Fedora 10 recognise all hardware in my PC, including Lexmark printer, Linksys USB wireless adapter, Samsung HSDPA/3.5G mobile broadband modem, etc.
Next step is to re-learn open source applications (Open Office, GIMP) and make Windows-based software run on Wine.
