●● Fedora 20 About a Week Away

Posted in GNU/Linux, Red Hat at 4:04 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Fedora’s latest release is just around the corner (released scheduled for December 17th)

WHILE some choose to debate whether Fedora 19 or its derivatives should be considered better [1], others notice that Fedora 20 is almost out [2] but continuously delayed [3]. DNF [4] and other nice features [5,6] may accompany future releases, including 20.

=> DNF

I still remember the first release of Fedora. I was a Ph.D. student at the time and our Computer Science department was debating whether to standardise on SUSE or on Fedora. I am glad Fedora won and to this very date Fedora is installed on almost every computer at the School of Computer Science at Manchester University. Names aside, Fedora is awesome as it strives to make more proprietary components free, especially hardware drivers. █
