A Java Developer's Review of Fedora 8
by Rahul Sundaram 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi Primarily a look at how key Java software packages work with IcedTea. http://ensode.net/java_fedora_8_icedtea.html "I was pleasantly surprised with the high degree of compatibility that IcedTea brings to the table. Also, the bundled Java tools such as Maven, ANT and Eclipse save a lot of time of downloading and configuration." Rahul

Fedora People etc
by Jonathan Roberts 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi all, A while ago some people suggested that it would be good to do some marketing work for the stuff that goes on around Fedora the distribution, like the web space of Fedora People... Anybody had any thoughts on what would be a good approach to go with this? Seeing as Fedora 8's out the door now, seems like a good time to get some information about it out. Best wishes, Jon

Fedora 8: What did they DO?!
by Rahul Sundaram 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

"Hi http://distrogue.blogspot.com/2007/11/fedora-8-what-did-they-do.html "I tried out Fedora 8 Test 3. It was atrocious. :-) It was slow, bloated, laggy, ugly, and had bad hardware detection. But something huge happened between the test and the final release, because Fedora 8 absolutely rocks." Pros: -Sweet artwork -Completely FOSS -Enormous software selection -Decent performance for once Cons: -Assorted quirks in hardware detection -Somewhat long install Overall: 4.3/5- A solid release from Fedora, for once. :-) Rahul

Distrowatch maintainer reviews Fedora 8
by Rahul Sundaram 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

Hi A very positive review but there a number of small niggles mentioned which I hope to respond a bit later. Digg It: http://digg.com/linux_unix/Impressions_of_Fedora_8 http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20071119#review "It was also the first time in years that I used a Red Hat product; as far as I can remember, I haven't installed any on a production box since Red Hat Linux 9 and even that was just a simple mail server. But the Fedora of today is a very different operating system - not only is it one of the most innovative distributions around, it is now also a well-oiled community project with increasing participation of third-party developers and volunteer contributors." "Although Fedora 8 isn't perfect (which distribution is?), it comes a lot closer to delivering a superb desktop experience than one would expect from a company whose business is focused almost exclusively on the server market. Great job overall and a well-deserved 8.5 out of 10." Rahul

Machines roll out at Bijra High school
by subhodip biswas 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi ! Many of you may be aware of Bijra High School Project [http://www.dgplug.org/intro/bijra] [http://bijra.dgplug.org] of dgplug [http://www.dgplug.org] . On 15th November 2007 we had a grand inauguration of the project. The initial idea was to open the world of computing to poor students . This has been done using completely free and opensource softwares. WBUT (West Bengal University of Technology ) and L2C2 Technology lend us a helping by providing few computers to the school. An LTSP server running fedora 7 along with few old PIII machines has been deployed. Not only that as most students lack proper English knowledge so the whole implementation has been done using bengali (native language ) BN_IN locale . The area also lack a proper internet connection so kiwix (offline wikipedia), wordnet (a dictionary dump) , project gutenburg dvd dump ( collection of english classics) are among the few softwares implemented to provide a complete education setup . So this help them not only in learning computers but also in computer aided learning. -- Regards Subhodip Biswas Fedora ambassador West Bengal, India GPG key : FAEA34AB Server : pgp.mit.edu http://subhodipbiswas.wordpress.com http:/www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SubhodipBiswas
