First Look: Fedora 10 OS
Fedora 10, a Linux-based desktop operating system sponsored by Red Hat, was released late last month by the Fedora Project. This version of the open source OS, code-named "Cambridge," has some new features that I was eager to try. I used the 700-MB live CD for installation and testing.
Fedora 10 is one of the most visually attractive distros that I've used in a while. It features GNOME 2.24 with a new blue and silver "Solar" theme. It offers a wide variety of themes and wallpapers, a nice touch for Linux-based distros. All fonts on the Fedora 10 user interface are readable and properly anti-aliased.
The Fedora 10 live CD includes less supplemental software than an Ubuntu distro, but what's there is sufficient for the average user. It includes Abiword (a lightweight word processor) and GIMP (a photo manipulation program). The Gnumeric spreadsheet would have been a nice addition.
