Has Fedora Lost Its Charm?
Hitting the web this morning was Fedora 7 Test 4, which of course I have been waiting to load up on some non-production machines since I hadn't updated against Rawhide in about two weeks. However, I have become to feel that Fedora is loosing some of its charm. Having been a Fedora user since the beginning, I have always been enticed by the latest Fedora releases whether it be stable or not. But recently, I seem to have lost some of this excitement. Fedora 7 does bring a number of changes, but it doesn't seem to be progressing at the rate of Ubuntu or some of the other up and coming distributions for that matter. Outside of package updates to X.Org 7.2, the Linux 2.6.21 kernel, and GNOME 2.18, some of the changes in Fedora 7 include KVM virtualization with libvirt and virt-manager integration, wireless networking improvements, and fast user switching.
