What will be new in Mandriva 2008

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

With the release of Mandriva 2008 coming up soon (more coverage when released) you may be curious what will be new. Well, here is the answer. I only disagree on one point with the author. I love that orange theme.

Other then that the things I find most interesting are GNOME 2.20 (see previous post) and the inclusion of Compiz Fusion.

Fedora 8 Feature List

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

The approved feature list for Fedora 8 is now avaliable here. Fedora 8 is the upcoming release of the Fedora distribution. Among the features in the list are better ways to get codecs required to play some media, a slick new GNOME theme, the inclusion of Power Top, an application designed to tell what is using the power a computer is consuming, and many under-the-hood changes. You can expect lots of coverage of Fedora 8 when it is released.
