TABLE B.1 Deploying Fedora

Consideration Description
Applicability How is Fedora going to be used?
Boot management Will remote booting be required?
Connectivity Will the system be used in an internal network, or connected to the Internet? Is there a requirement for wireless connectivity? What about bandwidth?
Context How does this install fit in with academic, business, or corporate needs?
Consensus Are managers and potential users on board with the project?
Comparison Is this install part of platform comparison or benchmarking?
Development platform Will development tools be used?
Embedded device Is it an embedded device project?
Hardware Are there any special hardware or device interfacing requirements?
Finance How much is in the budget? Will cost comparison be required?
Marketing Will a product or service be offered as a result?
Networking What type of networking will be required?
Objective Is there a specific objective of the install?
Pilot project Is this a pilot or test install?
Power management Any special power or energy requirements?
Public relations Does the public need to know?
Quality of service Is high availability or data integrity an issue?
Roadmap What other steps might precede or follow the install?
Reporting Are follow-up reports required?
Security What level or type of security will be required?
Server Is this a server installation?
Site considerations Does the location provide needed temperature and security, or does it even matter?
Software Are any special device drivers needed for success?
Storage Are there size or integrity needs? Has a backup plan been devised?
Timeline Are there time constraints or deadlines to the install?
Training Will special training be required for users or administrators?
Users How many and what type of users are expected?
Workstation Is this a workstation or personal desktop install? Is the workstation portable?

Do not forget to address follow-up issues on your migration roadmap. Pay attention to how satisfied or how well new users, especially those new to Linux, are adapting if a new desktop is used. However, if Fedora is deployed in a mixed environment, many users might not even know (or need to know) that Linux is being used!
