Fedora 8 Tips Topper
Fedora 8, the company's community-developed Linux distribution arrived in early December as planned and was bumped to version 8.0.1 before the end of the year. The biggest changes to the distribution in this trip to the haberdasher are numerous targeted installations, dubbed “Spins” by the Red Hat team behind its development. Also included are desktop graphic enhancements that make this free Linux distribution behave more like its commercial competition from Apple and Microsoft.
Fedora 8's new Spins are, for now, simply slimmed-down installation packages. The Fedora community is planning to open up many other types of targeted distribution installations as the project progresses. But for now, Spins are mostly built for quick network installation, or for live operation from USB memory sticks. But as one might expect, the primary Spin of Fedora 8.0.1 is meant for desktops and workstations.
