Fedora 17 Takes to the Cloud 

By Joab Jackson , IDG News 


The newest release of the Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Linux distribution includes a number of technologies that haven't made their way into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) yet, including a new version of the OpenStack cloud platform, code-named Essex, that the company plans to adopt in future editions of its flagship distribution. 



Fedora 17, released Monday, also includes the latest version of the Gnome -- version 3.4 -- as the default user interface. 


Overall, this release contains an unusually substantial number of new features, programs and improvements, said Robyn Bergeron, Fedora project leader. "We have a new release every six months. Sometimes there are fewer features, but I think this release has the largest number of new features we've ever had," she said.
