12.9.2009Fedora 11 now available
Fedora 11, the next release of the popular Linux distribution, is now available from the Fedora website. You can find full details of the major
improvements and changes in this latest release in our previous post about the launch of Fedora 11, but to mention just a few, the release claims to
have major speed improvements, boasting a 20 second startup, as well as overall speed improvements as ext4 is now used as the default file-system.
Another interesting feature is the ability to perform a minimal install, which amounts to about 500MB (at mount-point '/'), which should make
this release more appealing to users running servers, or machines with older hardware.

09.06.2009Linux Comparison: Fedora and conclusion
Fedora My first experience of Fedora came with Fedora 7, not long after I first used Ubuntu. I had difficulties getting it set up correctly,
especially when it came to downloading new applications, but once it was running the way I liked, I much preferred it to Ubuntu. My first impressions
of Fedora 10 are good, but there are some clear issues that need addressing, especially when it is put up against Ubuntu and openSUSE. Installation a
mixed experience. At first I didn't think I was going to be able to review Fedora. The LiveCD loaded to 100 percent within a few minutes, then sat
there, apparently doing nothing.

08.12.2008Fedora 11 due for release next Tuesday
Fedora 11, the next version of the popular Linux distribution, is due to be released on Tuesday next week, according to the Fedora Project website.
The new version features better performance, increased security, and several improvements. Some of the more interesting features and improvements
include a quicker startup time (no more than 20 seconds from power up to login screen, at least when first installed), ext4 being used as the
file-system by default (on Anaconda installs), as well as coming with the latest versions of GNOME or KDE. The move to ext4 as the default
file-system should mean users notice better performance overall, and the optimised startup should also result in better system performance.

14.05.2008Fedora to dump the 'Core'
In a mailing to the Fedora
development listing, Red
Hat's Bill Nottingham has
announced that effective the
next release there will be no
Fedora Core. The distribution
will be known only as
Fedora.
"Starting
with Fedora 7, there is no
more Core, and no more Extras;
there is only Fedora. One
single repository, built in
the community on open source
tools, assembled into whatever
spins the Fedora community
desires," Nottingham
wrote.
The mailing
also listed the planned
development cycle for Fedora 7
and outlined 28 new features
for the next release. Among
them, the separation of the
distro into different
"spins" (similar to Ubuntu)
-- Fedora Desktop, Fedora
Server and Fedora KDE.
Undoubtedly this is a
major shift in the development
of Fedora. The first beta is
due for release on January
30th, with a final release
scheduled for April 26th.

decisions on how Fedora will move forward. As with the Q&A with Joe Brockmeier, Neowin's forum members came up with a great selection of
questions. One of the things I have always noticed about Fedora is the default desktop wallpaper, which gives a real sense of effort and refinement
when you see it. Did Fedora choose to go this route, or did it happen by chance?
