Running Fedora Core Linux 1 (Yarrow, 2003) on a Virtual Machine

With Fedora 15 just a few months away from being released. I decided to at least install the very first Fedora Linux (known as Fedora Core Linux back then).

Previous Posts:
Red Hat Linux 4.2 (Biltmore, 1997)
Red Hat Linux 5.0 (Hurricane, 1997)
Red Hat Linux 6.1 (Cartman, 1999)
Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma, 2001)
Red Hat Linux 9 (Shrike, 2003)

Red Hat Linux 9 was release on March 2003, and Fedora Core Linux in November 2003. The two system visually are quite similar.

Fedora Core Linux 1 requires 3 CDs (just like Red Hat Linux 9)

Another great looking GDM theme, simple, yet elegant.

Gnome 2.4... 7 years later, we are still waiting on 3.0.

First Boot Screen on Red Hat sponsored distro.

Mozilla 1.4.1.
