Posted OnJune 1, 2007 by Ramdas S
Popular Open Source project from Red Hat Fedora has released its 7th edition. Instead of Fedora Core 7, the new update is titled Fedora 7.
Today, the Fedora team released the next version of their very popular Fedora distro. Version 7 is now available for download, and marks the first version in which they are dropping the “Core” label, calling it just Fedora 7. This next iteration brings many software updates, including Xorg 7.3, KDE 3.5.6, GNOME 2.18, “Fast user switching” support, performance boosts in certain important packages, a newer version of Python and many other updates. You can read all about the release in the F7 release notes, or download it by many of the mechanisms they make available, including BitTorrent.
Other interesting new features include an experimental driver for Nvidia cards, the NetworkManager utility that makes configuring various networks easier, a SELinux GUI tool and more.
For developers, there are updates to all popular develpment tools. Fedora 7 offers Python 2.51.
