Fedora 15 Linux hits first alpha, debuts BoxGrinder for cloud
By Sean Michael Kerner

Fedora 15, codenamed 'Lovelock' now has its first alpha milestone 
available <http://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease>. This is a BIG 
release for Fedora in that it's the first Fedora of the post Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 6 era, and oh yeah first with GNOME 3, SystemD and 
BoxGrinder.

GNOME 3, including GNOME Shell mark the evolution of the Linux desktop 
and Fedora is likely to be the first big Linux distro to full integrate 
it. When it comes to systemd, that's been a long time coming, but in 
Fedora 15, it's finally fully baked making it easier and faster to 
manage and startup background daemons.

BoxGrinder is another story and is a very exciting technology. Red Hat 
first starting talking about BoxGrinder a year ago 
<http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3864466/Red-Hat-Talks-Up-Open-Source-Cloud-Plans.htm> 
as a new way to build virtual software appliances (think SUSE Studio 
from rival Novell).
