What Will Fedora 14 Linux be Named? (InternetNews.com)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[2] a post on the process of choosing a name for the next version of Fedora:
"Some Linux distributions are named by benevolent-dictators-for-life (Ubuntu). In the case of Fedora, the choice of distro name is one that is voted on (and suggested) by the community."

Nearing The Release Of Fedora 13 (Phoronix)
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1] an article last week from Phoronix:
"The screenshots you see in this article are taken from a Fedora 13 nightly snapshot via compose on 2010-05-06 and represent what the final Fedora 13 "Goddard" experience should look like. Some of our favorite features for Fedora 13 include Btrfs system rollback support, Nouveau's Classic Mesa and Gallium3D drivers being readily available, Anaconda installer improvements, better DisplayPort support for open-source graphics drivers, the GNOME 2.30 desktop (and KDE 4.4 too), many package updates, and NetworkManager improvements.
Going forward, the codename for Fedora 14 will be announced next week and developers will quickly be turning their attention to this next Red Hat release. The final release of Fedora 14 is tentatively scheduled for release on the 26th of October, but we would be surprised if it is not pushed back into early November per the usual Fedora milestone delays. Fedora 14 is likely to ship with GNOME 3.0, KDE 4.5, the Linux 2.6.35/2.6.36 kernel, GCC 4.5, and X.Org Server 1.9."

Fedora 13 to be Released in Two Weeks (BestTechie.net
Rahul Sundaram forwarded[1]
"Among the features that I am looking forward to seeing in the 13.0 release of Fedora is the integration of a feature vastly similar to Apple’s Time-Machine. This implementation will give users the ability to back up their files and operating system onto another partition, and boot into said snapshot if necessary. This backup system will also give the users the ability to create a snapshot whenever a package is installed via Yum (the package manager used by Fedora), ensuring a much more stable operating system. Further, I feel that the implementation of this feature suggests that the Fedora distribution, and many other distributions for that matter, are beginning to become more and more user friendly. This is important because down the road it could lead to a Linux gaining higher market-shares, and potentially being used by a greater number of home users."

Fedora 13 Expands Linux Virtualization
