Summary: The community version of Red Hat is out once again, a week ahead of Christmas and approximately 10 years after it all began
TWO days ago Fedora 20 was released [1,2,3], delivering better hardware support [4,5] after a lot of testing [6] (incurring delays but matching deadlines). Putting aside features [7,8] and performance [9], the important thing about Fedora is innovation and its insistence — although not absolute — on Free/libre components. The next release of Fedora [10] will improve management of components (not entirely unpredictable), but again, this is a bit of "lipstick on a pig" as some people put it. Codenames will, as always, matter next time. █

Hadoop processes large datasets. It is popular in supercomputing for tasks like large distributed science projects, financial services, and it’s even supported on Cray supercomputers. Adding Hadoop to Fedora was a big task that involved satisfying a number of difficult dependencies, so now Fedora users can install it the easy way with Yum. Even if you don’t have your own computing cluster you can still get acquainted with Hadoop on a single PC or laptop.Fedora upgrades ARM support, now treats it as x86’s equalHold onto your (red) hat: Fedora 20 is outLatest version of Red Hat’s edition of Linux has ARM support, JBoss and Ruby on Rails updates, and much moreFedora 20 is Go for releaseFocus on Fedora 20 Features: Hadoop in HeisenbugThe Fedora 20 release is tantalizingly close, but even without the final gold seal of approval we have a clear picture of the features that users will be enjoying very soon.
