Red Hat's Fedora 14 Boasts Updated Development Tools, New Virtualization 
Technology
By Jason Brooks

Fedora 14, the latest release of Red Hat's fast-moving, 
community-supported Linux distribution, hit the Internet earlier this 
month bearing its typical crop of updated open-source software 
applications, with a particular focus on updated developer tools, such 
as the latest versions of the Eclipse and Netbeans Integrated 
Development Environments. As far as new features are concerned, Fedora 
14 is a fairly modest release, particularly when compared to the latest 
from Fedora's chief Linux rival, Ubuntu.

The Fedora feature that most caught my eye was the addition of software 
packages to enable Spice, the remote desktop protocol that Red Hat 
picked up in its 2008 acquisition of Qumranet, the creator of Red Hat's 
KVM open-source hypervisor. While KVM was fairly quickly digested into 
the distributions of Red Hat and other Linux vendors, Spice has proven 
more of a challenge, due in large part to the fact that it started out 
as a proprietary technology <http://www.eweek.com/#>.
