:*OPS235 is due for another update, to Fedora 16 + current practices. This page is a scratchpad for recording proposed changes for implementation in Winter 2012.

:*The Anaconda UI has changed, especially for storage configuration.

:*Use ext4 as the standard filesystem. Add some discussion of btrfs.

:*Interfaces are now named according to BIOS/EFI device labels. This is important for server-class systems which are rackmounted. In the past, "eth0", "eth1", "eth2" were hard to line up with back-panel connectors; now, if the BIOS/EFI says that the ports are labelled "network-A", "network-B", and "network-C", that's what the interface names are. If there are no names in the BIOS/EFI, embedded ports come up as emX and PCI ports come up as pXpN (PCI slot X port N).

:*No longer required -- loopback is assumed if the mount source is not a block device.

:*Command is obsolete according to the documentation. Change coverage to the 'ip' command.

:*Add coverage of the ''git'' version-control system. msaul: '''would this be placed in lab5?'''

:*The 'wheel' (admin) group is enabled by default in F15+, and Anaconda provides a checkbox to add users to this group. Users in this group can execute commands as root using their regular account and password.

:*We should teach the use of sudo alongside su.
