Fedora 8 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora (previously called Fedora Core) is an RPM-based, general purpose Linux
| distribution, developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and
| sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora's mission statement is: "Fedora is about the
| rapid progress of Free and Open Source software."
|
| [...]
|
| Red Hat ruled the Linux distribution world, before Ubuntu came and took over.
| With the current release for Fedora, it seems that Red Hat is fighting really
| hard to control the lost ground. The intense effort is clear from the current
| release. If we ignore minor hick-ups, werewolf is one of the best releases
| from Fedora. With this release Fedora is returning to my workstation as
| distribution of choice, after a long time.

| my laptop and replace it with FC8.

A Java Developer's Review of Fedora 8
,----[ Quote ]
| I just finished installing Fedora 8. One new feature that really caught my
| eye is that it includes an unencumbered version of Java, based on OpenJDk,
| called IcedTea. In addition to IcedTea, Fedora 8 includes a lot of Java
| software out of the box including Eclipse, Maven, ANT, Tomcat 5, and Jetty,
| among others.

An old hat with new tricks: Fedora 8 officially released
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been experimenting with Fedora 8 test 3, and I like what I see. This is
| a nice release with a pretty sweet assortment of features that you won't find
| anywhere else. Fedora still manages to differentiate itself and rise above
| many other contenders by delivering early access to new technologies.
