Fedora to be released in 3 days

I’ve been using fedora since fedora 5. I’m gonna keep an eye on this. Fedora According to my experience with fedora 7, they actually put the system a few days earlier than the releasing time. Although I don’t know if the links will be visible. And look at this ftp://ftp.cs.hacettepe.edu.tr/pub/mirrors/fedora/linux/releases/ and this ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/fedora/linux/releases/ You can see 8 already! But they won’t let you see the contents. But we have a peek ha!

And here are some screen shots from RC3. The interface should be the same.

2 days now.

I received a letter from Fedora project asking me if I want to join them. I’ve loved fedora but it’s kind of at a halting state. Since it’s earlier versions, 6, 7, 8, you can see from the feature list that there aren’t many new things. Maybe the deeper changes are hidden from the surface discriptions but what do you guys think are there  that we can make fedora better. To me, fedora 7 only improved in one very exciting way: intel 2200 bg wireless works out of the box. Are we saying that linux is so mature that there’s only keeping up with the hardwares but no evolution?

Oh, btw, there’s a link in the comment that you can join fedora project through.  As a linux distribution, the community is very hospitable and everything. I haven’t been part of the project because I am a busy person myself :) But according to my experience, they are good. So even if you’re not a CS major, there are still marketing and all kinds of jobs to do and it’s great experience too using your own speciaties to help with some cutting edge computer technology.
