Distribution Release: Fedora 10

[wolfen69]

The Fedora project has announced the release of Fedora 10: "The Fedora Project, a Red Hat sponsored and community-supported open source collaboration project, today announced the availability of Fedora 10, the latest version of its free, open source operating system distribution. This release includes the premiere of a new graphical boot system called Plymouth, designed to speed up the boot process by taking advantage of a new kernel mode setting feature. Fedora 10 also features increased hardware support for a vast array of webcams, and better handling of printers via both direct physical connections and networks. Further, PackageKit, a software management tool that originally debuted in Fedora 9, has been extended in this release to provide on-demand codec software installation."

Blah, all my usual mirrors haven't unlocked the directory for Fedora 10 yet... at least i'm getting 500+ on the torrent.

I'm getting 3kbs on the torrent.

i'm getting 300kbs on the torrent. i'd probably get more, but i limit it to 300.

Downloading myself, but the x86_64 liveCD torrent is varying greatly between 150 KB/s to 500 KB/s.

Fedora 8 and 9 were both fantastic, and I'd used them exclusively for nine months. 10 makes some promises that looks like it may be bringing me back. I'll definitely grab the liveCD when I get home from work. By far one of my favourite distros, although I'm too comfortable with what I'm running now to do a clean install.

I'm going to download it just to see Plymouth in action!

I've been using this since the weekend. I installed 9.93 (Fedora 10 Preview) on Saturday, and that same afternoon there were over 100 updates that came through that upgraded the distro to version 10.

I'm bowled over at how nice it looks, the smoothness and how responsive it is. There are no mp3 or divx codecs installed by default, but that's soon remedied with the addition of the RPM Fusion repositories.

Feels much more responsive than ubuntu, and a damn sight more polished.

Edit: The only issue I've had so far is that F10 didn't recognise my printer - a canon ip4300. That was soon remedied though by downloading and installing the rpm's from the canon site for the ip4200. Worked like a charm.
