The Fedora Project announced the release of Fedora 10 “Cambridge” on 25 November 2008. Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration project by Red Hat.

Fedora 10 includes the premiere of a new graphical boot system called Plymouth. Plymouth is designed to speed up the boot process by taking advantage of a new kernel mode setting feature. Fedora 10 also features increased hardware support for a vast variety of web cams and better handling of printers via both direct physical connections and networks. Further, PackageKit, a software management tool that originally debuted in Fedora 9, has been extended in this release to provide on-demand codec software installation.

Fedora 10 features all new GNOME 2.24.1, OpenOffice 3.0, RPM 4.6, KDE 4.1.2, GIMP 2.6 and 2.6.27 kernel version. Nevertheless, this release of Fedora comes with LXDE, an additional desktop environment. It is a new project that provides a lightweight and fast desktop environment designed to be usable and slim enough to keep resource usage low.

    I promised one day that linux will never be installed on my computer again – it was when I spent 3 days trying to install my wi-fi usb drivers.
    Maybe it’s time to change my decision – new fedora looks just great.
