Reiver_Fluffi Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Howdy, cousins! Welcome to our little Fedora hollow, where we'vebrewed up some mighty, mighty Fedora 7 Moonshine for your enjoyment. Here, I'll help you pour that ... and some for me ... *cough, cough* Smoooooth ... sure does taste good. It's been sitting here in the jug for almost a whole month now! Go ahead and help yourself to some more: http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html What's the most important thing to do if you are upgrading your Fedora version? Why, that's easy! Read the release notes, it prevents hangovers: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes What are new things to do with your Moonshine? * Mix and remix this Moonshine to come up with as many flavored drinks as there is Joe-Pye weed in the Appalachians. Want an OS to send home with the students or staff? Add packages, remove packages, spin it any way you like. Let a thousand distros bloom! * Bottle up that custom mix and call it an appliance. ISV building an appliance product? Make an RPM, identify the minimal number of packages needed for an appliance around that RPM, then build a distro and a live image. Easy as moon pie. Gol' darn, but this is good 'shine. *hic* There, is that enough? No? Here, let me pour us some more, and we can toast the most important part of this Moonshine -- the makers. You thought I made it? Oh, no. No special elite brewmaster here, I'm just a bartender, and this log is my bar! Ha ha. No, really ... see ... Fedora 7 is the first release where the development was one hunnerd and one per-cent in the community. How? It's simple, cousin -- all the code was merged into a single external repository. Why? Same great distribution quality, even more high-quality developers able to work directly with the code and improve the flavor of over 7500 packages. Grab that jug, look inside, and you find: * KDE? Yep, with Moonshine, Fedora and KDE are gettin' downright friendly with each other. * Laptops? A tickless kernel means better power consumption for laptops; extended wireless functionality, meaning more chances hardware will Just Work. Yee-ha! * Get those Live images, burn CDs or DVDs, and share them with your friends and neighbors. This is the first Fedora distribution with full Live CD/DVD capability. * Interoperability? Let's start with resizing and reading of NTFS file systems. How about those Liberation fonts, d'you like how they just slip right in where other fonts were used? * Why stop with just one fruit jar of virtualization? This release includes support for KVM and overall more virtualization capability. * As always, tasty new graphics for the Fedora 7 desktop, as well as an updated Website look and functionality, including a new build and package update system. More? Read up at: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-note...n-OverView.html Oops, looks like we drank up all that jug. Guess I'll just make a trip over the torrents to get me another. All right, then, we'll see you. Y'all come back soon now, ya hear? = Want Fedora? Get Fedora = http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora.html Without fail another Fedora release announcement that makes me laugh (for the right reasons).

Reiver_Fluffi Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Would someone be kind to move this topic to the news forum? You should know me by now dexter, it is my belief that news about other distro's do not belong on the portal page of a Mandriva (ish) site, this is why I posted it here.

Reiver_Fluffi Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Incidently, finally downloaded, quite impressed that it only took 4 hours (2Mb Down, 256Kb up) over bittorrent for the full i386 dvd (looks like it was well seeded), will install later though when i'm a break things mood Edited May 31, 2007 by Reiver_Fluffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiver_Fluffi Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Anyone installing this but not watching the fedora forum or bugzilla should be careful when enabling system sounds on gnome, as it basically breaks gnome :( but that's easily fixed by editing the following line in /etc/esd.conf default_options= changing it to: default_options=-nobeeps -unix -as 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
