Fedora 11 mini-review
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, Fedora 11 is a great upgrade. There are lots of changes "under
| the hood" for those (like me) who are interested in such things. General
| users will notice a few cosmetic changes going from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11,
| especially when booting. For example: Under Fedora 10, graphical boot had
| just been re-written and didn't work everywhere, so most systems booted in a
| sort of text-mode interface. But with Fedora 11, graphical boot now supports
| almost all video cards, so looks much better.

| But having said this, I can now safely proclaim that this latest release is
nothing short of remarkable.

Two hours (and counting) with an upgrade to Fedora 11
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, I must admit that I am happy I took the leap to upgrade. It has
| been almost a week now since I did the upgrade and everything is working
| great with minimal fuss beyond the first two hours from the upgrade until I
| had X configured properly. If you are using Fedora 10, Fedora 11 is a welcome
| upgrade, and I look forward to spending more time over the next few weeks
| figuring out what else is new and interesting. If you have not given Fedora a
| serious look in a while, I would encourage at least downloading the Live CD
| and giving it a try — you may find it a pleasant surprise.

Fedora 11 Leonidas bleeds
,----[ Quote ]
| So who should use Fedora? As a bleeding edge and short life cycle
| distribution, it is hardy the ideal server environment. It offers a very nice
| desktop environment, but requires a bit more manual tuning than some of the
| competition. Performance wise it is very typical, with similar system
| resource consumption that Ubuntu and others. FOSS purists will enjoy the fact
| that no proprietary code is included. Overall I would recommend Fedora to
| someone who has already learned the basics of Linux and can do a bit of work
| on the command line. The relation to RedHad is a terrific asset for anyone
| interested in learning Linux for a professional career, as RedHat / CentOS
| has a lot of commercial and corporate users. If you are looking for the quick
| jump from Windows to Linux, you should probably look elsewhere.

Increase the booting speed of Fedora
,----[ Quote ]
| Initng is a full replacement of the old and in many ways deprecated sysvinit
| tool. It is designed with speed in mind, doing as much as possible
| asynchronously. In other words: It will boot your unix-system much faster,
| and give you more control and statistics over your system.

Fedora 11's Biggest Improvements Are in Virtualization, eWEEK Labs Finds
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 11 provides a sneak peak at what's coming in the more staid and stable
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux. During tests, eWEEK Labs found that the biggest
| improvements in Fedora 11 come in the area of virtualization, although Fedora
| still lags systems from VMware in functionality and polish. Fedora will also
| serve well in desktop roles, but will need more care and feeding than other
| desktop Linux distros.

Linux & Open Source: Labs Gallery: Fedora 11 Shows Significant Virtualization
Gains
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 11, the latest release of Red Hat's community-oriented Linux OS, can
| serve in a full gamut of Linux roles on the server and desktop. And, as
| usual, Fedora 11 gives users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux an early look at
| what's to come in their operating system of choice. In my review of Fedora
| 11, I took note of the distribution's improvements around virtualization,
| where Fedora boasts improved facilities for creating, accessing and managing
| virtual machines across multiple hosts.

Fedora is concerned about Mono
,----[ Quote ]
| That said, Frields also told me that in his view there are some problems with
| the language used in the legalese surrounding Mono and its redistribution.
|
| "We do have some serious concerns about Mono and we'll continue to look
| at it with our legal counsel to see what if any steps are needed on our
| part," Frields said.
|
| While Mono is part of Fedora, Mono is not part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
| and hasn't been since 2006. It's not clear if mono will stay or go for the
| final Fedora 12 release when it appears 6 months from now.
|
| "We haven't come to a legal conclusion that is pat enough for us to make
| the decision to take mono out," Frields said. "Right now we're in a
| status quo. Gnote is a relatively recent development and unfortunately
| was too late in the Fedora 11 development cycle to include by default."
