Things to do after installing Fedora 20

The latest version of fedora released on December 17, 2013. It is very stable and improved version of the previous release.

We know that fedora does not provide licensed and non-free codecs and packages. So we need to install them.

Copy all the content in the box below and make a file with extension .sh (I used fedoraup.sh) or you can do all these things manually also referring the box below.

Click here to download the file and run.
