Fedora 7

My favorite distro has just released a brand spanking new version.
Some release highlights:

  • GNOME 2.18 and KDE 3.5.6
  • New desktop theme – “Flying High”
  • Wireless firmware improvements, and new GUI NetworkManager for managing your wired and wireless connections
  • Hot plugging display devices due to inclusion of Xorg Server 1.3
  • Performance enhancements for yum
  • Python 2.5, and all Python repo software uses it!

They have also introduced new Spins(fedora install types).

  1. GNOME and KDE bootable live images
  2. Normal desktop,workstation,server images
  3. DVD images that include entire Fedora repository

I will definitely be installing this once I can find the time.
