Linux & Open Source: Fedora 11 Delivers Big Feature Boost to Latest Linux Distribution


Red Hat officials claim the community's eleventh release of its open-source Linux distribution includes the broadest feature set to date; spotlights developments in software management and sound; improves key virtualization components; and introduces Fedora Community, a portal project now in beta. The beta test of the portal focuses on software package maintainers; community members will have an opportunity to comment and improve Fedora Community as it develops throughout this year, according to Red Hat officials.
