Cloud and Virtualization Features Set Fedora 14 Apart - (PC World)
Kara Schiltz forwarded[1] a brief article on new cloud computing and virtualization features in Fedora 14:
"Fedora 14, or "Laughlin," made its official debut on Tuesday, and it's packed with a raft of new features designed to enhance the experience for users of the open source desktop operating system.
Usability has been a key focus in the past few releases of Red Hat-sponsored Fedora, which is the second most popular Linux distribution[2], behind only Ubuntu[3], according to DistroWatch. Significant improvements in networking, software management, hardware support, and other functionality have resulted, so much of the work on this latest release has concentrated instead on providing bug fixes and increased stability."

Fedora 14: haven for Ubuntu's homeless GNOMEs - (Channel Register - UK)
Kara Schiltz forwarded[1] another review of Fedora 14:
"Fedora 14, released Tuesday, has quite a bit of new stuff under the hood - things you probably won't notice most unless you're a systems admin or use Fedora for development.
For Fedora this is business as usual and, many would argue, the way it should be. After all, the latest UI bling is useless if the underlying system isn't delivering the tools you need on a rock solid foundation.
It also makes a nice contrast to Canonical's Ubuntu, which has a habit of taking Fedora's upstream contributions, wrapping them in a prettier package and stealing the limelight. There's nothing wrong with that, it's the nature of open source software - you can do what you want with it. It's just that Fedora rarely ends up getting the credit it deserves for making desktop Linux as usable as it has become over the years."
