Some simple tricks, some details are always forget. Good idea to update guide in nearest future. Skype, vim files...
Yum update
Fastest mirror yum plugin. RPM download should be faster.
su -c 'yum install yum-fastestmirror'
Anyway we can now add
rpmfusion repos:
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'
Update
Configuring sudo
While update going on we can configure sudo.
su --login -c 'vim /etc/sudoers'
Look for line:
and than add this after it:
Where "username" is you current system username.
Also we should not need ask for pass when using sudo.
Comment this line:
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
And uncomment this:
#%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Done, save file and exit.
Add user to wheel group
su -c 'gpasswd -a username wheel'
Check it
Alias
Lets do simple aliases.
cd
vim .bashrc
Add this lines:
alias update="sudo yum update"
alias install="sudo yum install"
alias upgrade="sudo yum upgrade"
alias remove="sudo yum remove"
Done.
MS fonts
Maybe a good idea. Download
rpm.
Packages are might be useful:
sudo yum -y install mc vim p7zip unrar wget evince-djvu gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg
You also may want to install fixed fonts and configure gnome terminal:
install bitmap-fixed-fonts
...and isntall nautilus terminal extention.
install nautilus-open-terminal
