IMHO the best 2 are the 'Fancy' and in 2nd place the 'Normal' by NicuBuculei the reason for these choices are that the 'Fancy' is the most professional and polished. It may be more expennsive to reproduce, and that's when 'Normal' comes to push. I'd also add 3rd on the list the 'Generic 1' by GiacomoSucci. They are all very nice, though!

German LinuxUser Magazine

Hi, there is an distribution-review for recycling old PCs (Pentium I class). Fedora Suse Ubuntu Installation with Gnome 3:00h 1:10h 1:45h Minimal Installation 1:50 0:30 0:30 First Update with Gnome 4h 1:10h 0:26h Boot in textmode 1:20m 1:10m 1:10m Boot with Gnome 2:20m 2:10m 2:20m Seems Fedora is the slowest to install in low-memory conditions. The authors states, that although selected in Anaconda the xfce-packages were missing and he had to manually install them afterwards. cu romal

AMD Releases Open Source Driver For New ATI Graphics Processors
by Rahul Sundaram 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Hi Just in case you have been living under a rock, specs as well as drivers have been published now. http://airlied.livejournal.com/50613.html http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/ http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/09/07/amd-releases-open-source-driver-for-… "Graphics drivers are important because they are a critical part of the user experience. The goal of Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux is for all hardware to “just work” out of the box. Since binary drivers can’t be included in these distributions, support for graphics hardware requires open source graphics drivers" Rahul

First slogan ideas.
by Giacomo Succi 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's are my first attempt to a slogan for Fedora 8. "Fedora, an operating system with a limitless power." I think that is really horrible... "Freedom; Simplicity; Technology Edge. Fedora. Your operating system." I don't know if "Technology Edge" is the right expression for this idea "is always pushing the boundaries of technology" "Freedom; Collaboration; Future ready. Fedora. Your operating system." Same as above. "Freedom, Simplicity, Collaboration, Ready for the Future. Fedora. Your operating system." A composition of the two above. "The future of the operating systems is here. Fedora. My choice." For me this slogan express mainly the idea of pushing on and on the technology and the idea of community. For the moment I've no more idea. I'm waiting for you critics, ideas, suggestions :).

First interview up
by Jonathan Roberts 17 Sep '07

Hey, I've just posted the Bluetooth interview to the interviews page. (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Interviews/BastianNocera) I've also submitted it to Digg (http://digg.com/linux_unix/Bluetooth_done_right_in_Linux) Would be cool if somebody could tell me how to get it put up at fedoraforum.org, and anywhere else people think it might be a good idea to advertise it?

Fedora 8 Test 2 Nano Review
by Rahul Sundaram 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi This overall favorable mini review has * Detailed positive comments about the new look and feel especially Nodaka * Rant on spatial nautilus * Some suggestions on improving the look and feel of Pirut and yum search http://blogbeebe.blogspot.com/2007/09/fedora-8-test-2-nano-review.html "If you're a died-in-the-wool Fedora user then by all means move to F8 when it's finally released. If you're on some other distribution and contemplating a move off that distribution then you'll need to dig deep to see if Fedora 8 provides a good match of features and capabilities you've come to depend on in your current distribution."

I was unable to test out F 8 - T 2...
by Markus McLaughlin 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

I wasn't able to try out Fedora 8 Test 2, so I am hoping someone will send a long Flash video on all the new features to me, then when Test 3 is available, I will be able to use that instead... In the mean time, please check out what they are doing with MAC Leopard, perhaps something they did for it can inspire the Fedora programmers to come up with some new feature that works like what is used in Leopard. Take care, have a good weekend, and always go for Infinite Possibilities! :D Mark McLaughlin - hudsonman35(a)gmail.com - linuxglobe.wordpress.com
