Fedora Developer Interview: KDE 4

,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4 is seen by many to be the next big step on the free software desktop, 
| while others think releasing 4.0 in its current condition was misleading and 
| a mistake. Either way, it's an innovative release and inline with Fedora's 
| goal of providing the latest and greatest free software it is set to be the 
| default KDE environment in the next major release of Fedora. We caught up 
| with a few members of the KDE SIG to talk about the work they're doing to get 
| it ready for release, their own opinions on the software and what they think 
| about the progress made by Fedora in getting over its GNOME centric 
| reputation.

Virtual Testing - Xen Vs. KVM

,----[ Quote ]
| My first test looks quite promising. I now have an Fedora 8 64-Bit on my PC, 
| Fedora 8 64-Bit in Xen, and Fedora 9 Alpha 64-Bit in KVM. The feeling of the 
| system in Xen is really good. In KVM it's usable, but it doesn't run really 
| smooth. I still have to check the boot-times, also have to compare them with 
| the host-system's boot-time, but I think also here Xen should be the winner.

Fedora 8.0 review

| In conclusion, if you are looking for a robust, secure and stable Linux 
| distribution which stands out from rest of the brood in providing an 
| innovative set of GUI tools for system and network administration but at the 
| same time, you are also particular that you would like to use only Free 
| software, then you should seriously consider taking Fedora 8 for a spin. You 
| will definitely fall in love it.

Fedora/Linux for Noobs

,----[ Quote ]
| The desktop in Fedora 7 (Gnome) is very pleasing to look at. With clean lines 
| and soft colors it has a Mac-like appeal with the taskbars of Windows. You 
| can easily add items to the taskbars (panels), move them around, make them 
| transparent, and even remove them if wanted. Icons are clear and resizable so 
| you’re not stuck with dinky XP icons. I have modified my desktop somewhat for 
| productivity. One of the beauties of Linux is the degree of customization 
| available to make your workspace the way you want it.

Review of Fedora 8 (by Simon G. Hildenbrand)

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, I truly believe that Fedora 8 is by far the best Fedora release to 
| date (and I've tried every one of them). From the look and feel of the 
| system, to the out-of-the-box configuration during installation, I couldn't 
| be happier with a cutting edge release.   
| 
| As I mentioned before, the biggest aspects of a successful distribution for 
| me are suspend/hibernate, correct screen resolution and the the ability to 
| change the screen resolution in a GUI if it didn't configure it correctly the 
| first time, system stability, and overall look and feel of a distribution. 
| For me, Fedora 8 has excelled in all categories when I evaluate and review a 
| system and I hope that Fedora continues to release versions that are put  
| together as good as Fedora 8 has been.

Community Welcomes Fedora 8 With Strong Download Numbers

,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 8 offers both GNOME and KDE-based Live CDs and a general-purpose 
| installable DVD for workstations and servers. It also includes improved Live 
| USB support, making it possible to install, boot and run the entire 
| distribution off of a USB key without touching the computer's hard disk at 
| all. This enhancement makes Fedora attractive to those who wish to experiment 
| with Linux without risking their data.

Red Hat's Fedora 8 hope: An all-purpose Linux foundation

,----[ Quote ]
| The ability to "re-spin" Fedora is attracting some interest. Among the 
| Fedora-based variations that will be available are one for gaming, one for 
| designing microprocessors, and one for programmers.

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.

The Review: Werewolf, Fedora’s Redeemer?

,----[ Quote
| Fedora 8 is a distribution to beat. Its great features and much improved 
| stability simply rocks. It may not be a distro that I can say is ideal for 
| Linux newbies, but it is almost there. So, to answer the question: Is 
| Werewolf Fedora’s Redeemer? In my own opinion, it is. It somehow revived 
| Fedora from its previous blunders. I’m sure Fedora faithfuls will never be 
| tempted to look at Ubuntu again. Can Werewolf help put Fedora back on top? As 
| of the moment, Fedora is still ranked #4 in Distrowatch. If Werewolf will 
| fail to do so, at least it will serve as a catalyst for future releases to 
| take Fedora back to where it truly belongs. I think the only direction Fedora  
| is going right now is certainly upward.

Fedora 8: Live CD Reviewed

,----[ Quote ]
| So, is Fedora for you? I like it. Despite me being a Debian user, going with 
| RPM-based distro might not be so bad after all. If Fedora could just clean up 
| that mess with the file manager, I would see a lot of Ubuntu users jumping 
| ship.
