The Fedora Project announced the Fedora 14 final release, adding Amazon EC2 support. Fedora also features faster boot-times and JPEG downloads, the MeeGo for Netbooks UI stack, improved debugging, and a new "Spice" virtualization desktop framework, says the project.

Released in beta form at the end of September, Fedora 14 ("Laughlin") is now available in final form. This community-driven open source distro is a techie-focused upstream contributor to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The community has also upgraded its Fedoraproject.org site with the Fedora 14 release.

Most of the key new Fedora 14 features were explored in our previous coverage. New to the final release, however, is Fedora support for the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). "For the first time since Fedora 8, Fedora will release on the EC2 cloud," says the Fedora Project. Official images allow EC2 users to "confidently try out the leading edge technologies of Fedora in the cloud," adds the project.
