The LXF Test: Hands on with Fedora 10
Fedora 10 has just been released to the waiting masses. Andy Hudson takes the distro for an early test run, exploring the new features and seeing how it stacks up against the other major players in the Linux league...
As you're probably aware, Fedora is a community-based distribution that has backing from Red Hat, the largest Linux vendor in the world. Having this backing means that Fedora can work with a wide selection of developers all over the world, including some who are employed by Red Hat to work solely on the distro. Fedora itself is a descendant of the original Red Hat Linux which was discontinued a little over five years ago in favour of moving to a more community-focused approach, in tandem with in-house development for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, for which Fedora is considered by many to be up-stream and which provides a useful proving ground for many new technologies and packages.
Fedora 10 is based primarily on the 2.6.27 kernel, giving you access to the very latest and greatest that the kernel developers can offer, along with minor enhancements that come from Red Hat kernel developers and other members of the Fedora community.
