First Look at Sulphur, Fedora 9 - Encryption support, ext4 filesystem, kernel
2.6.25 and more!
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora brings you the latest version of Perl, 5.10.0, with improvements in
| the memory consumption area and some other changes. The unmaintained TeX was
| replaced by TeXLive, which provides a complete TeX system with all the major
| TeX-related applications, fonts, macro packages, etc.
|
| This said, we, here at Softpedia Labs, truly enjoyed the short look we took
| at this edition of the Fedora Linux distribution, it really impressed us with
| its new features and you should definitely give it a try. For installation
| instructions, please follow our step-by-step tutorial.

Red Hat includes new USB capabilities in Fedora
,----[ Qquote ]
| Red Hat Fedora users are to be offered an easier way to use the operating
| system on portable USB thumb drives.
|
| New USB drive capabilities mean that Fedora 9 Live images can be added to a
| USB key under a Linux or Windows application without requiring data loss,
| repartitioning or reformatting, which adds greater flexibility for users, Red
| Hat said.

Linux - easier to run by the release
,----[ Quote ]
| LiveCDs have long been a part of the Linux movement. They are typically a
| good way to demonstrate Linux and show users, for free, that Linux doesn’t
| have to be a technical minefield or command line nightmare. In its bid to
| make its Solaris and OpenSolaris system more like Linux, Sun released the
| open source OpenSolaris in binary form for free and made the OS available on
| a LiveCD. It’s interesting to see how the LiveCD has become practically a
| requisite of an open source OS.
|
| These developments continue to broaden the options to run Linux and other
| open source operating systems, and should broaden the audience for them. It
| will also be interesting to see their impact on proprietary operating systems
| that are far more limited in where, when and how they can run.

Fedora 9 - Why it’s so awesome
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE4
|
| Although I do not use the KDE aside from a few choice apps, I think it would
| be rather rude and inappropriate to neglect the awesome efforts of the Fedora
| KFE SIG in making Fedora 9 the first major distribution release to feature
| KDE4
|
| As I am not as familiar with this awesomeum as I am others, I will leave the
| absorption of the full details as an exercise for the reader (note: their
| release annoucement page is…yes, that’s right…awesome…).

Fedora 9 - an OS that even the Linux challenged can love
,----[ Quote ]
| The new KDE look, dubbed Oxygen, is very slick, some might even say
| beautiful. Fedora is the first major distro to ship with KDE 4 enabled by
| default, but thankfully KDE 4 does support older applications that haven't
| yet been ported. Such apps won't be able to take advantage of the new
| features, but at least you can use them until new versions are released.
|
| Fedora 9 also marks the first release under Paul Frields, Fedora project
| leader at Red Hat, who took over for longtime Fedora maintainer Max Spivak
| earlier this year. Fedora has also revamped its board slightly making the
| distro a more community-managed affair. The majority of the Fedora board is
| now made up of community elected members.

Fedora 9 Gives Ubuntu a Run For Its Money
,----[ Quote ]
| After playing with the release candidate for a week or so I’m happy to report
| that Fedora 9 has made some significant strides and gives Ubuntu a serious
| run for its money when it comes to user-friendliness.

Red Hat lives on the edge with Fedora 9
,----[ Quote ]
| To address KDE 4 demand--roughly a third of Ubuntu users prefer it to the
| more widely used GNOME--Ubuntu programmers took a Fedora-like approach.
| They're working on a KDE 4 version of Hardy Heron, but it doesn't come with
| the support promised regular Ubuntu.

Tip of the hat: Fedora 9 officially released
,----[ Quote ]
| Important architectural features—such as the PulseAudio sound server and the
| PolicyKit secure privilege escalation system—that were first included in
| Fedora 8 are now integrated in a more complete and pervasive way.
