Fedora Linux 9 Final - Linux Operating System Designed by Red Hat

Fedora Linux 9 Final (Linux, Freeware) [download 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.

Changes:

    • A bootable, portable Fedora desktop can now be be created on a USB key through the use of either a Linux or Windows application, without the need to repartition or reformat the USB key in either case. This is done by adding Fedora 9 Live images to the key.

    • Support for the latest versions of the two competing open source Linux desktops traditionally used with the Fedora OS: KDE and Gnome. New capabilities in KDE 4, for example, include integrated desktop search, a new multimedia API, and a hardware integration framework.

    • Gnome 2.22 adds a world time clock; power management at the log-in screen; and improvements to system integration, security, Bluetooth integration, and podcast support.

    • Adds improvements and enhancements such as OpenJDK support, the Firefox 3 Beta 5 Browser, the Anaconda installer, and NetworkManager, with first-time support for mobile broadband.
