New in Fedora: Jack Aboutboul
by Rahul Sundaram 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi Jack Aboutboul talks about what's new and interesting in Fedora in a Linux World podcast with Don Marti. Why does the core/extras merge matter, custom spins of Fedora, relationship between Fedora and OLPC, KVM and virt-manager virtualization, does user space in Linux still suck like Dave Jones says it did, boot up speed and much more... http://www.linuxworld.com/podcasts/linux/2007/062507-linuxcast.html Rahul

Proposed Fedora 8 Features
by Rahul Sundaram 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi A pretty good look with screenshots and short descriptions though the list of features are a bit premature to say at this point. I think we can do something similar to officially while announcing the list of features for Fedora 8 which will happen when we hit feature freeze during the development cycle. http://linuxupdate.blogspot.com/2007/07/proposed-fedora-8-features.html Discussions at http://osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=18277 Rahul

Smolt to be a Linux Thing
by Marc Wiriadisastra 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

http://www.phoronix.com/?page=news_item&px=NTg5Ng "Smolt, the Linux hardware profiler that was introduced by the Fedora project for automatically reporting installed hardware and other system attributes, reached a new milestone last week and is in the process of another. Last week, Smolt reached 75,000 profiles for Fedora after being introduced back in January of this year. At the time of writing, there are now over 78,300 profiles." Kudo's go to the dev's Cheers, Marc

How’s Fedora 7 Faring?
by Rahul Sundaram 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

Hi The statistics pages have more details but the uptake is pretty good so far. The smolt data is also pretty interesting. http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/07/03/hows-fedora-7-faring/ "It’s been about one month since the release of Fedora 7 and we thought it was time to give you a few updates. We’ve had over 300,000 installations of Fedora 7 in the first month since its release on May 31. That number is thus far pretty in-line with expectations, given that Fedora Core 6 received close to 400,000 installations in its first month, and we expect that people will wait a little while to upgrade their systems. Fedora keeps a statistics page with information about the newest releases if you’d like to learn more." Rahul

A face-to-face conversation with Max Spevack of Fedora
by Rahul Sundaram 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

Hi "In Fedora 8 and 9, over the next year let's say, we want to make the technology even better. For example, envision you take your whole computer around on your USB key and you stick it into any laptop and your desktop just appears. If you loose it, your data is encrypted, so it's not as much of a catastrophe as it could be – at least your bank account is not all over the world." http://www.technetra.com/writings/archive/2007/07/01/face-to-face-with-max-… Rahul

Review: Flying High with Fedora 7
by Thomas Chung 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

http://www.technetra.com/writings/archive/2007/07/01/review-fedora-7 "As their "Flying High" theme promises, Fedora 7 is indeed a great plane to fly. It is a first class distro that demonstrates solid progress in improving the user experience, easing the move to virtualization and enabling the user to create their own flying machine through custom build tools. So grab your flight gear and take Fedora 7 for a spin. See you onboard!" -- Thomas Chung http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung
