[plug] fedora linux (fwd)

[Clare Johnstone]

Hi All,
I must take this opportunity to pass on greetings from Taslug to
all Pluggers. I did attend a Taslug meeting while in Tas, very
similar to our workshops, in a pleasant venue. They set up a
network for playing which had Win and Mac boxes connected.

The Redhat news below is good I think.
It may get back onto our ftp server as a result.
cheers,
clare

Subject: [Taslug] fedora linux

I just found out some interesting info about Redhat. They will not be
releasing a redhat 10. Redhat the company will be working on its
enterprise
edition inhouse only, having moved their regular linux distro into the
open arena, (development cycle wise that is).

So what was previously an internal development effort is now open to
anyone who wants to view or assist; Redhat standard edition will be now
known as 'Fedora Linux', first edition to be released on November 3rd.

The latest release cantidate can be downloaded from fedora.redhat.com, a
site which has a stack of info on the new project. This is one of the new
features of the move to Fedora, release cantidates, CVS etc will be
available at any point in development, so like debian you can maintain
bleeding edge linux. This is only aided by 'yum' the apt-like package
system Fedora is adopting from Yellow Dog linux.

Im curious to hear if anyone has installed the rc yet, and if so whats it
like? There will be no CD releases of fedora so as someone on dialup from
home I'll be looking to pick up a copy at a future taslug meet. :)
