Linux offers us a wide range of distributions , both for server and home user environments where each one has the necessary functions to be stable, reliable, secure and high-performance systems..
One of the most used and known distributions is Fedora , which has been in the market for quite some time and has positioned itself as one of the best options to use.
Some of the features of Fedora 27 are
- TRIM in SSD is used for encrypted disks
- SSH-1 has been removed from OpenSSH clients

Fedora 27
Once downloaded the ISO image of Fedora 27 we proceed to burn it on a USB or DVD media, configure the boot from there and this will be the first window we will observe. We select the Start Fedora-Workstation-Live 27 line

There and once the necessary files are loaded we will see the following. We can test the system to know it a little more, but everything we do there will be deleted once the session is closed or click on the Install to Hard Drive section to install it locally.
Step 3
By clicking on the local installation, we will select the language with which Fedora 27 will be installed. Once selected, click on the "Continue" button
Step 4
There we select the "Installation destination" line and we will select the hard disk drive on which Fedora 27 is to be installed. We activate the Automatic box in the "Storage configuration" section and click on the "Done" button:

Step 6
Now it will be necessary to set the password of the root user; To do this we click on the Root Password section.

Step 7
We will create the user to use Fedora 27 with their respective credentials:
Step 8
Once established we will see the following:
We hope that the installation process continues and after all the components are installed we will see this. Click on "Exit" to complete the action. We proceed to eject the USB media with the ISO or the DVD and restart the computer..
Step 9
After the reboot, the system will start automatically and it will be necessary to perform the additional configuration of Fedora 27 where it will be necessary to enter the credentials of the created user. Click on "Login"
Step 10
