Fedora 13 Boasts Many Leading-Edge Enhancements
By Jason Brooks

Since its first version, in 2003, Red Hat's Fedora Linux has been the 
best place to track what's on the leading edge of Linux and open-source 
<http://www.eweek.com/#> software. Of course, the trouble with running 
on the leading edge is that it's easy to get cut, and the Fedora 
distribution's fast development pace has required a certain amount of 
bug-squashing tolerance from its users.

Fedora 13, which began shipping in late May, boasts many of the 
leading-edge enhancements—and few of the rough spots—that I've come to 
expect from the popular Linux-based operating system. In particular, I 
appreciated the work the Fedora team has done in the area of security 
and permissions, with progress toward more granular rights management 
<http://www.eweek.com/#> through Fedora's PolicyKit framework, and an 
implementation of the SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) framework that 
remained, for the most part, tucked away unobtrusively in the background.

If you can get in touch with the author,  please inform him that
cnetworkmanager is a older python program written by Novell and the new
implementation in C is called nm-cli.  Dan Williams from Red Hat who is
the primary developer of NetworkManager wrote it in C because we wanted
to use it in init scripts and other places where a smaller footprint and
better performance is desirable.
