Fedora 10 released

Fedora 10

The latest version of one of the most popular Linux distributions, Fedora 10, is ready for download.

Built on the Linux core version 2.6.27, Fedora 10 comes with two desktop options to choose from: GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.1. Also, the latest version of Firefox 3 is downloaded automatically.

The latest version of Fedora includes fixes for PulseAudio. As for the PA Sound Server which appeared first with Fedora 8, has its management capabilities of sound files and their distribution to more than one device improved significantly. Network Manager supports connection sharing (especially 3G). Package management system RPM has been revised, cleaning the code base and improving the maximum file size to 4 GB and supporting it with PackageKit. Additionally, PackageKit has been combined with GStreamer, adding the ability to find codecs for multimedia files which do not have any. The distribution’s boot time has been reduced by 10% and a Plymouth graphical interface which does not need X server has been developed. Surely Plymouth does not run on every hardware, but it has a text-based interface as a backup.

You can download Fedora 10 at Fedora Project site.
