== From Live CD's to Live USB's ==
== Cinnamon Spin ==
The Cinnamon desktop version 2.6 is now available as a Spin for Fedora 23. Cinnamon is a modern desktop environment based on the GNOME Shell, with advanced features and a traditional and flexible user experience.


Up until Fedora 12 release, the desktop Live image has been CD sized ones and this has been increasingly limiting the out of box experience and Fedora Desktop team is targeting 1 GB Live USB keys instead as of this release and the image would not fit into a CD anymore.  Detailed documentation on making a Live USB is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB.  You can burn this image in a DVD as well. If your computer does not support booting from a USB or has no DVD driver you can do a network installation or use the regular installation CD set instead.
Updates and improvements in this release include:
* Improved multi-monitor support
* HTML5 and XScreenSaver support for animated screensavers

* Redesigned system settings panel for improved usability
