Leo marks the arrival of Fedora 11

After a two-week delay, the Fedora Project team finally announced, two minutes ago, the release of Fedora 11, also known as Leonidas. The multitude of new features and improvements in this new version made the waiting time seem even longer, especially for dedicated fans. Well, at least the buzz from Ubuntu and Mandriva is slowly fading away, so Linux users can concentrate better on Fedora 11.



Fedora known to be bleeding edge brings in some killer features and numbers with it.. Here are the main features in Fedora 11:

• 20 seconds boot time
• Default Ext4 Install
• New artwork and improved plymouth
• KDE 4.2.2
• Gnome 2.26.1
• XFCE 4.6.1
• Automated Fonts/Mime installer
• Fingerprint reader
• Nouveau replaced nv as opensource driver for nvidia based cards
• Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Beta
• Thunderbird 3 Beta

Fedora 11 is an excellent release. I think I will install it (GNOME version) until Kubuntu 9.10 alpha/beta becomes stable enough to install

I have already tested Gnome/KDE.. and not at all satisfied with packages in Live CD WIll download the DVD now

I don't think you'd be satisfied with the DVD either.

AFAIF, there are nothing but Ubuntu and Mandriva fanbois(prejudged trolls) in this forum.

20 seconds boot time....nice marketing strategy...I get 10 seconds boottime in Ubuntu. Now say... I saw this 20 seconds thingee on softpediaalso.

Hah, its like the kettle calling the pot black (or the other way around), Fedora fanboi

@DS: There was an announcement about RPMFusion repos (free and non-free) for Fedora 11 being available for some goodies...

Plus IIRC for last time (F10) there was a custom unofficial spin (called Oxygen I think) which was Fedora but with all the "non-free" extras as part of the CD... not sure if they will launch something similar again...

^^Not repos sir .. .The bundled s.w on live cd is too less and I would never install them.. Openoffice missing and host of other useful tools..

So I would be using DVD for now .. Ijust pray plymouth works

@qneb : Chill Fedora faboi I never said the distro was bad , its just the package selection is too niche for me to use the lIve cd

CONCLUSION:
Please don't waste your energy in all this FUD, do something worthwhile with your *buntu. (or whatever..)

I thought you might chime in... I posted 3 links, you posted just 1, I win, you lose.

but you guys dropped the ball here we are all Linux fans

agree ... dvd is better bet ... live cd falls short on these grounds !!
but still i love linux and fedora 11

Installed this on my rig.. but still that damn DSL config is giving me a lot of problems.. DVD rocks though.. its rock solid.. could anyone please tell me how can i get the realtime preview of the tail -f /var/log/messages command?

I love Fedora but there are a few bugs with Leo. I installed it but there was no sound on my laptop. I troubleshooted on the forums and a lot of people said it was a PulseAudio issue, which is unlikely because Ubuntu also uses PA and it works fine on Ubuntu.
Someone reported it on Bugzilla and came out with a patch, but I have no idea how to implement it. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506266
It will be part of Fed12, but I don't like how getting your sound to work is such a massive pain in the backside
