Fedora LiveCD Description

A Live Linux distribution of the Fedora operating system. Fedora Live CD is a Live Linux distribution that contains the Fedora 11 distro and Extras software.The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc.The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free 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 the building of Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than was possible in Red Hat Linux.By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system that uses free software development practices and is more appealing to the open source community. What's New in This Release: · 20-second boot time - from the moment you turn on the computer to the login screen; shutdown times were also reduced; · Default EXT4 install - the Fedora team took quite a bold step as the installation now defaults to this powerful new filesystem; experimental Btrfs support is also available; · New artwork - beautifully designed from boot to the desktop: birds, wavy ribbons and dark blues are part of the new theme; · KDE 4.2 - the latest and greatest K Desktop Environment with all its eye-candy included · GNOME 2.26.1 - though there are no major changes, users will notice Brasero as the default CD/DVD burning tool, some minor interface tweaks, improved filesharing, better Microsoft Outlook support in Evolution and more; · Xfce 4.6 - many new features make the lightweight desktop environment much more efficient and production-ready; · Automatic Fonts & Mime Installer - enabling third-party programs automatically install required fonts, codecs or clipart; · Fingerprint reading - devices that provide this feature are supported in Fedora 11 out of the box and configuring them can be easily done through the Authentication Configuration utility; · ABRT - the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool is a very easy way to report bugs; · Nouveau - the open source Nvidia driver is now enabled by default; · Presto - updating the system will be much quicker as this yum plugin brings support for deltarpms, ensuring that only changed components are dowloaded, not the whole packages; · Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Beta - a plethora of enhancements to the most popular open source browser makes this a great choice; · Thunderbird 3 Beta - a great email client with improved performance and better IMAP support; · Xserver 1.6 - bringing improved performance and stability; · MiniGW - Windows cross-compiling has never been easier; · TigerVNC - now the default VNC client; · GCC 4.4, NetBeans 6.5, Python 2.6 and Git 1.6.2 are sure to increase developing productivity; · OpenChange - out of the box Microsoft Exchange access; · Improved Volume Control, now more user-friendly with per-application control and better handling of multiple speaker sets; · DeviceKit system service, providing better ways to monitor disks through the Palimpsest utility
