Что нового в Fedora 12?

Fedora 12 (Constantine) полна улучшений, которые делают Linux лучше, чем когда-либо, для всех категорий пользователей. Ниже приведены несколько нововведений, которые вы сможете увидеть, попробовав Fedora 12.

Пользователи

Empathy в действии
Новинка Fedora — Empathy — клиент для отправки мгновенных сообщений, поддерживающий чат , видео и аудио. Вы можете общаться со своими друзьями, которые используют AIM, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, Live (MSN), MySpace и множество других платформ.

Вы так же можете использовать Empathy для того, чтобы дать доступ к своему компьютеру друзьям, таким образом вы можете помогать друг другу в освоении и изучении Fedora. Благодаря учету достижений последних улучшений веб-камер и поддержки видео, включенных в Fedora 12, Empathy позволяет вам использовать следующее поколение клиентов для отправки мгновенных сообщений.

Поддержка звукового оборудования через Bluetooth позволяет вам прослушивать аудио на вашем компьютере без трудностей и проводов. Это правда — вы можете встать и танцевать (или пойти налить чашечку кофе) не теряя ритма! Начните голосовой онлайн-чат с вашими друзьями или расслабьтесь под музыку из Rhythmbox.

В Fedora также есть поддержка многих других устройств, которые вы используете каждый день. Стараетесь ли вы содержать в порядке ваш календарь или проводите день с музыкой, Fedora с вами. Подсоедините ваш MP3-плеер, наладонник (PDA) или смартфон и позвольте Fedora 12 гостеприимно объединять всё ваше цифровое оборудование.

Смотри Ma, никаких проводов! Поддержка bluetooth-гарнитуры в действии
NetworkManager в действии
NetworkManager помогает вам выйти в онлайн и оставаться онлайн в движении. С помощью расширенной поддержки для мобильных broadband, легкой связи через Bluetooth и интегрированного управления паролями, NetworkManager позволяет общаться и пользоваться интернетом в один клик.

NetworkManager improvements in Fedora 12 also include:

  • IPv6 for next-generation networking
  • Better support for shared, static, and system-wide network connections
  • A redesigned interface that is simpler to use and understand
PackageKit finds software for you, whether you're looking for ways to deal with files from friends or just want to explore the over 15,000 packages that Fedora provides for free. You can install entire groups of related software in just a couple clicks, and PackageKit helps you keep your system secure and up to date through its subtle but effective alert system.

PackageKit is even more helpful in Fedora 12, including:

  • A refined interface that is more responsive and informative
  • Support for installing packages directly from the web browser
  • Supports GNOME and KDE
  • An available command-line plugin that finds software to support new commands when you run them

Comic drawing in Inkscape
Better than ever tablet support allows you to enjoy pressure-sensitive drawing out-of-the-box - no mucking with configuration files required!
  • Fedora 12's updated version of Inkscape includes the new pen presets tool which lets you choose from a selection of pens to draw with (including 'dip pen,' 'brush,' 'wiggly,' and 'marker') and also gives you the ability to create and save your own pen styles.
  • Gimp's brush dynamics tool allows you to control how the velocity and pressure of your tablet pen can effect the opacity, color, hardness, and size of brush strokes.
  • Cell writer handwriting recognition lets you input text without having to use a keyboard.
  • Xournal allows you to jot notes on, highlight, and sign PDF documents - no more print, sign, and re-scan. You can even take handwritten notes on digital notebook paper.
There's lots of little fixes as well:
  • Clearer, more navigable menu bars
  • A fresh desktop background theme
  • Icons that help you find your special content folders quickly
  • And much more

Office productivity made easy: no matter what you do -- email, web browsing, office applications, graphic design, robotics, electronic design automation, project management, personal databases, amateur radio, webcomics — you'll find it all here.

System Administrators

Fedora 12 gives you the future first. The technologies that make open source the platform of choice for savvy system administrators are all here. Fast, stable, secure, and ready for you to work your magic.

A number of improvements are included in Fedora 12 to make your life easier. A new initial ramdisk setup tool called Dracut helps keep boot time as low as possible. There's now ext4 support for GRUB, and Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) is enabled by default on systems with NVIDIA, ATI and Intel video cards for a faster and smoother graphical boot.

For those who use Samba, the addition of GFS2 Clustered Samba and improvements in HA (high availability) clustering makes sharing data across machines easier and more reliable. Fedora 12 also features constant security updates for bulletproof systems, and a number of virtualization improvements have emerged with this release that use memory more efficiently, provide more flexible hardware and network solutions, and boost the performance of virtual guest disk images. You can even create scripts to perform complex tasks directly on guest disk images. Fedora 12 helps you unite all the diverse cultures of your virtual guests into a single functional system.

Developers

For developers, Fedora 12 includes a rich set of development tools, including all popular programming languages, IDEs, and an extensive set of libraries. The most recent versions of emacs, mercurial, and php are included - no need to worry about downloading the latest and greatest, we've got them all. And for developers using Eclipse, version 3.5.1 (Galileo) is included in Fedora 12, along with more Eclipse plug-ins than ever before. And these features are all in addition to the world's most popular web, SQL and application servers, creating a complete development and production environment in one easy to use platform.

How to get started

Intrigued? Want to give Fedora 12 a try?

You can download a LiveCD regardless of what operating system you're running. This will give you a working version of Fedora, complete with common applications, all running off your CD drive - your hard drive won't be touched at all. And when you're ready, installation is just a click away.

And if you're running Fedora 11, upgrading is easy. Refer to our handy documentation for help.
