Fedora 9 is here and it is one stinky release. (Sorry, stupid joke. Fedora 9 is codenamed Sulfur.) Seriously, Fedora 9 looks anything but stinky. Of course there are plenty of new features in the new release (see here for details), but the one I am really the most excited about is not really even a feature at all.

One of the things the Fedora distribution is best known for is the incredible themes that come with each release. Fedora 6 has the DNA theme, Fedora 7 had the balloon theme, and then Fedora 8 had a much simpler and flatter theme that, in my opinion, was not quite up to the standard of Fedora 6 or 7. It was fine, just as good as most other distributions, and also brought a cool new feature where the background changed based upon the time of day, but I always felt that it was just not quite as great as before. Now, with Fedora 9, I am happy to say that the theme included is once again very impressive. This, perhaps more than anything else, is why I  am planning on playing with Fedora 9 as soon as I can.

As I have not yet had time to install Fedora 9, I don’t have much more to say, but I suspect I will be posting more about it later on.
