Fedora 11 Is Out!

takerraj
The most awaited Fedora 11, code named Leonidas is out. It was released on 9th. Fedora is most used linux distribution after Ubuntu. You can get Fedora 11 from here :
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora

It comes with many new features and packages. It includes much improved Ext4, KDE 4.2 and much more.

I once installed Fedora 10 on a virtual box, it was something like blue theme, I couldn't understand much as I could in Ubuntu. Fedora 11, Also yesterday, that is 10th, the new version of Linux kernel 2.6.30 was released after many RC's. So does this mean they will be incorporating the latest kernel in Fedora 11 through updates soon, or will they update it in the next version?

takerraj, did you install fedora too, after you installed opensuse?
i used redhat and fedora once, i was a little bit confused, and then i uninstalled them.

i prefer to use ubuntu (and kubuntu), mandriva, or opensuse, becasue i'm still a noob wink.gif

Fedora 11 is released 9th and the new kernel is released 10th (as spencer said), I think the new kernel will be provided as an update. I am still on Opensuse, downloading Fedora 11. Redhat has very good demand in market. That's why I am trying to learn Fedora. For personal use, there is no other distro as easy as Ubuntu.

Could you explain more briefly, what are the advantages of using fedora (in personal or proffesional use)? I still can't figure what good things you could get from using fedora. Is the system resource usage lower than other distro? I still can't understand that.

By the way, if you finished installing fedora, let me know it's disk space requirement. i'm going to install my 2nd linux on my notebook, but i still can't decided what would be the next one ;p Maybe I'll install fedora, who knows.

Thanks for the info. And it seems to be a liveCD, so you can test it without installing it.

As far as I remember, Fedora is the free version and the commercial version is RedHat.
This means that, when you will have to use RedHat at work, it will be easier if you already know Fedora.
I am familiar with Mandriva in my house, so, when at work I have to use RedHat, it sounds familiar, but it's rather different.
So, take Fedora as an investment for future.
As it's a LiveCD, your personal training will cost only a CD.
And if you work with virtual machines, it costs no CD, only some disk space on your servers.

Redhat is most widely used commercial linux around the globe. Using Fedora will certainly help you in mastering Redhat because both are almost the same. If anyone want to become linux administrators then mastering Fedora will help such people.

Recommended system requirements for fedora 11 :
RAM : 256 MB for 32-bit and 512 MB for 64-bit PC's.

The official release notes says that Fedora uses just over 9 GB (if you install each and every package available on DVD).

Not interested in becoming linux admin? then Ubuntu is the one to go with.

full installation : 9GB? Does this mean all the packages includes Gnome, Kde, or maybe xfce and all applications inside it will be included?
Then I'll pass.. I don't have such space in my drive >_<..
I'll stick with my kubuntu.. maybe I'll install mandriva later wink.gif

I guess that it's "full including everything possible". I guess that, in real world, the contents of the 690 Megs CD will not expend far more than 2 gigs ? Or is there a way of supercompressing by a factor about 20?

akashi
It's not a cd yordan, but dvd wink.gif so it's absolutely possible.. Previous RH (version 8 i guess) needs 8 or 9 cd for full installation which means more than 5.5GB of installation disk..

FYI, mandriva full installation (from dvd) will takes about 16GB of your dsik.. That equals to 1/3 of my laptop's disk >_<

I took a look at at the fedora page and must say Fedora 11 looks promising. I will probably download it later.

I liked this addition

QUOTE
MinGW (Windows cross compiler) - Fedora 11 provides MinGW, a development environment for Fedora users who wish to cross-compile their programs to run on Windows without having to use Windows. In the past developers have had to port and compile all of the libraries and tools they have needed, and this huge effort has happened independently many times over. MinGW eliminates duplication of work for application developers by providing a range of libraries and development tools already ported to the cross-compiler environment. Developers don't have to recompile the application stack themselves, but can concentrate just on the changes needed to their own application.


For ashish17 the release notes are easily available from their web site.

Fedora is major linux distro like Ubuntu. Fedora 11 is easy to use. I used it. Liked it. It is fast and light and as usual the security is very good as it will be on all linux systems.

Well, if you see this link http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora, you notice that they encourage you to download Live CD's for fresh installation and DVD for upgrading the older version to newer version.
