Hands on: Secrets of Fedora 8
Last time, we looked at Fedora 8, one of the major Linux distributions currently available. We saw some of the features of this release and touched on a number of post-installation steps. This time, we’ll continue and take a closer look at some of these.
If you keep up to date with developments in Linux, you may know that Fedora follows a regular release cycle, similar to that of Ubuntu. Fedora 9 will in fact be available as you read this.
However, Fedora is perhaps the most pioneering distribution when it comes to experimenting with new technology, and for that reason some people may wish to stick with the previous release for a while longer. Fedora 8 has not remained stagnant at all, and has continued to receive very regular updates, including enhancements to security and many other areas.
