Fedora 12 rolls out impressive features

,----[ Quote ]
| Although last in this line of releases, 
| Fedora is perhaps the most interesting of 
| the releases. While it is the community 
| version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora 
| is not nearly as conservative and prides 
| itself on its just-out-of-beta features. 
| This time around Fedora introduces features 
| such as Bluetooth audio support, multi-
| touch input for tablet PCs, better package 
| management and broader network support.
| 
| On the desktop Fedora includes Empathy, a 
| new generation of instant messenger that 
| supports chat, video and audio on most 
| popular IM platforms including AIM, Yahoo, 
| Google Talk, Jabber, Live (MSN) and 
| MySpace. Using Empathy users can share 
| their desktop with friends and use a webcam 
| to create audio and video chats.

Fedora 12 - it's a horse, not a camel

,----[ Quote ]
| On the desktop, Fedora 12 offers the latest 
| versions of GNOME and KDE, complete with 
| all the usual updates to the standard GNOME 
| and KDE applications. On the GNOME side 
| that means the new Empathy IM client and 
| the slightly revamped, somewhat more 
| polished theme we mentioned in our review 
| of the Fedora 12 beta release.

Fedora, Still Pushing The Envelope

,----[ Quote ]
| This new release certainly feels very solid 
| and is definitely worth the upgrade, today. 
| Due to Fedoraâs stance on free software, 
| users might not get the same âout of the 
| boxâ experience that other distributions 
| might offer. Even so, is that a good thing 
| or a bad thing? Either way, using only free 
| software certainly helps to make Fedora 
| more stable and itâs great for users who 
| donât need proprietary software.
| 
| That aside, Fedora 12 âConstantineâ 
| continues the tradition of pushing the 
| envelope of free software and could just 
| be, the very best Linux distribution of 
| 2009.

Fedora 12 Installation and Post Installation Guide

,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 12, codenamed Constantine, is 
| released! Just for the info, Fedora is an 
| RPM based Linux Distribution, an Operating 
| System in other words, developed by the 
| community supported Fedora Project and 
| sponsored by Red Hat. Fedora contains only 
| free and Open Source software. Some of 
| Fedora's 12 new features are Gnome 2.28, 
| KDE 4.3, better web cam support!, and many 
| others. Finally presto is enabled by 
| default which means smaller updates to be 
| downloaded and faster updates also!

Fedora 12 Review and Commentary

,----[ Quote ]
| There is a great third party product for
| Fedora called Easy Life that you can
| download that installs and configures a
| ton of settings by default for you (ubuntu
| users may compare it to the deceased
| automatix).
|
| It does the following:
|
|     * Sets "sudo" command up for your
|     regular user;
|     * Configures RPMFusion repository for
|     extra and non-free software;
|     * Installs Flash Player plugin;
|     * Installs all kinds of multimedia
|     Codecs (h264,divx,xvid,mp3 etc);
|     * Installs additional fonts;
|     * Installs Skype;
|     * Installs Sun Java and Sun Java
|     Plugin for Firefox;
|     * Integrates Sun Java with system-
|     switch-java;
|     * Installs Google apps (Picasa,
|     Desktop);
|     * And many others...
