Red Hat Releases Fedora 16
Fedora and RedHat today announced a new version of the Fedora distribution.
Version 16 comes with Aeolus Conductor, which creates and manages cloud instances; Spice USB, which provides file sharing and audio messaging for virtualized desktops; as well as an integrated GNOME 3.2 and KDE 4.7 desktop. Developers get support for Perl 5.14, GCC Python Plugins and D2.
"The open source community sets a new bar for technical excellence in the creation of this release," said Jared Smith, Leader, The Fedora Project, in a prepared statement. "Fedora 16 combines the newest advancements in open source virtualized and cloud computing environments with significant under-the hood-improvements – all while continuing to improve the operating system’s usability. The Fedora Project’s commitment to advancing free and open source software is absolutely reflected in what the community delivered in Fedora 16."
The big news for Fedora is that the OS has arrived in the cloud age and allows users to control cloud instances via a new web-based UI. There is also HekaFS, a cloud version of GlusterFS.
That's all I can read here... don't understand the meaning of all the fancy words they used. Open source? Cloud computing? What's all this BS?
The reason admins dont let people play with it is because it is much harder to secure. I dont blame my admins for that!
This made me rofl at work.... loudly btw. good thing I work in an office where most people have head sets on.
Maybe you should head to the forums for the basic understanding of computers!
That's why I stayed with 11.04 - Unity is $h!t and Gnome 3 is a disgusting downgrade from the previous Gnome, which was great. And 11.10 won't let you install older Gnome... Unless Canonical stops being an ass by the time 12.04 arrives, I'm moving to Mint.
About the OS itself, Fedora is the Best distro you can get. After using it for several months now, Ubuntu/Mint seem like toys to me
Wow. Sad case!
Yeah, it's news. Fedora is the second (third?) consumer desktop distro out there, as well as the one that is the most advanced and bleeding edge of them all (apart from a few niche ones).
Sad though Gnome 3 might be, it doesn't get much worse than W7...
