+  <section>
+    <title><package>dnf</package> greets Fedora</title>
+    <para>
+      <package>dnf</package> is a fork of the venerable <application>yum</application> package manager. It is build on <package>hawkey</package>, a library allowing clients to query and resolve dependencies of RPM packages based on the current state of <function>RPMDB</function> and <application>yum</application> repositories.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      <package>dnf</package> in Fedora 18 is a technical preview, and is installed alongside <application>yum</application>. It should not yet be used on critical production machines, but early adopters are promised a more efficient, faster package management utility.
+    </para>
+  </section>
+  <section>
+    <title><application>systemctl</application> assumes it works with services</title>
+    <para>
+      <application>systemctl</application>, the utility used to administer services and other <application>systemd</application> targets, will now assume that it is working with a service. Administrators will no longer have to append <varname>.service</varname> to the name of the daemon they are administering. For example, <command>systemctl restart dhcpd</command> will now just work, but previous releases required <command>systemctl restart dhcpd.service</command>.

+  <section>
+    <title>Terminals get more colorful</title>
+    <para>
+      Fedora now features supporting terminal emulators using 256 colors by default. With new environment variables, applications such as <application>gnome-terminal</application>, <application>konsole</application>, and screen will automatically be enabled with 256 color support. Other applications can display 256 colors but must be configured. While still disabled by default, users can enable color terminals for connecting remote systems with the environment variable <varname>SEND_256_COLORS_TO_REMOTE</varname>. These configurations can be found in <filename>/etc/profile.d/256color.sh</filename>.
+    </para>
+  </section>
+  <section>
+    <title>Remote management gets better with <productname>Agent-Free Systems Management</productname></title>
+    <para>
+      On systems that contain <function>IPMI</function> compliant <productname>Service Processors</productname>, it is now possible to have closer integration of OS and <productname>Service Processor</productname> without the need for 3rd party software. This will enable better management of the system remotely.
+    </para>
+  </section>
+  <section>
+    <title><function>CIM</function> management tools improved</title>
+    <para>
+      Administrators managing large numbers of systems get a running start with Fedora 18's improvements on <function>WEBM</function> and <function>CIM</function> offerings.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Users can build applications using new and enhanced <function>CPMI</function> providers to monitor and administer network interfaces, storage objects, services, power state, users, and software packages. They can also monitor system load, usage, and more. The toolkit also includes <application>yawn</application>, a web based browser for navigating and working within the <function>CIM</function> object model.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      These features ease the task of managing large numbers of systems, laying the foundation for robust management infrastructure. Experienced users and system administrators are invited to review the sample python scripts and documentation provided with the <package>sblim-cmpi-*</package> or <package>openlmi-*</package> packages.
