Xen Fedora 7 How to

[Marc Wiriadisastra]

http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_gui_fedora_7_desktop

While the how to is related to marketing in a sense.  What I found most 
surprising was that it was on the front page of Digg.  I haven't seen a 
lot of Fedora info on the front page of Digg (linux/unix) so I thought I 
would post this to the list to just point this out.  Seems like Fedora 
is being significant inroads in the contribution of the tools for Xen.  
Good work to the devs.

Cheers,

Marc

Fedora wiki has a more official howto on virtualization at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Fedora7VirtQuickStart

We are absolutely leading the front of virtualization. Pretty much all 
the other distributions have adopted Fedora's libvirt, virt-manager, 
virt-factory and family of tools.

Fedora 8 will enhance this even further

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureVirtSecurity
http://berrange.com/personal/diary/2007/08/fedora-8-virtualization-work-in

This and security enhancements are something in which Fedora blows away 
many mainstream distributions.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-announce/2007-September/msg0...

I expect we will progress rapidly on the providing a good base for 
custom spins and derivatives too.

I have linked many references to

Actually, fedora articles are only stuck in "upcoming" and never
pushed to "(linux/unix)".

We need to get more diggs is all :D Not that I'd suggest gaming digg or
anything, but if you do spot an article on Digg Re: Fedora post the digg
link to this list or to a blog on planet (or anywhere for that matter!)
so that people are at least aware of it. Perhaps include a message along
the lines of:

"Hey, check out this article about Fedora. If you like it, why not digg
it here:

digg.com/linux_unix/..."

Would definitely help I think.

The howtoforge stuff on Fedora is often hideous.
Like their "turn Fedora into a usable desktop" stuff. First thing they tell
you to do is turn off SELinux.
Talking about educating users.
But I presume, being of good will, that this one is an exception.
