Looking ahead to Fedora 16
We are only a week or so away from Fedora 16, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to preview what's ahead in this release.
I happen to prefer Fedora as my Linux distro. While I usually install the "alpha" and "beta" releases on a USB flash drive, and test-drive it there, I haven't been able to do that with Fedora 16 yet. The installer for the test releases had a bug that prevented me from making the flash drive bootable. This has been fixed with an updated installer (which has been tweaked at least twice since) but too late for me to test it out here.
I'll see Fedora 16 when everyone else does, I guess.
There are many changes "under the hood", but I'm most interested in several key features for the desktop. The Gnome desktop is now at version 3.2, and includes these changes:
