[News] As Fedora Linux Grows Up, It Gets More Open, Leaner, and Faster
Fedora 7: The Linux Knight in Shining Armor?
,----[ Quote ]
| Last month at Phoronix we had taken our first look at Nouveau --
| a FreeDesktop project aiming to provide open-source 3D display
| driver support for all NVIDIA graphics cards. While a lot ofwork
| has already been accomplished for this project, a lot of work is
| still left to be completed. Nouveau developers expect the project
| to be ready for primetime by this fall, but Fedora developers
| are hoping to integrate this open-source 3D NVIDIA driver into
| Fedora 7. Another display-related enhancement in Fedora 7 will
| be the integration of RandR 1.2.

| One of the areas where Fedora has been criticized in the past
| is the slow boot and shutdown process. Developers hope to
| address this issue by reducing the number of processes on
| start-up and optimizing the processes that need to be started.
