This tutorial will show you the simple steps of installing a modern Linux Distribution Fedora 35 Server edition. Fedora line offers many bleeding-edge Linux technologies than the more enterprise CentOS of the same RPM Linux family.
In fact, if the user needs a server with the latest Linux stable software Fedora server is the right and easy choice for a server!
For example, the Fedora 35 Server comes and updates to the latest stable Linux:
- Linux kernel : 5.16.
- Python : 3.10.2
- GLibc : 2.34
- OpenSSL : 1.1.1l
