Fedora Linux 5 (Linux, Freeware, 655 MB) [via FileForum] is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives. The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software.
Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule. The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in building Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than in past releases. By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free software and more appealing to the open source community.
Latest changes:
- New desktop applications
- Advances in security
- Better localization tools
- Improved software installation and management facilities
- Strong Java integration
Along with Ubuntu, Fedora seems to be the one of the most user-friendly Linux distros. First time Linux users are recommended to try Fedora.
