Its fresh, its sexy and its coming your way soon.
Yes, people, hold your breaths for Feodra 10-Cambridge is coming and if there are no further hiccups than it should in your lap on 25th Nov, 2008.

The new Fedora 10 promises oodles of new refereshing features that will literally take tour breath away.
One of the significant modifications is the replacing of the regular looking RHGB graphical boot:

artwork_f8themes_infinity_round3final_infinity-rhgb-preview-full

with the new fresh and animated Plymouth and to a layman, it will seem like one of the better modifications in Fedora till date:
plymouth-live

Also included into this release are these new features:
1. Gnome 2.24
2. Netbeans IDE
3. Sugar Desktop
4. Eclipse 3.4

In case you tried to update your Fedora after the new key was assigned to the packages and it gave you a dependency error, please try
“$ yum -y install fedora-release”

if this says that package already updated
“nothing to do”

then please visit the following site and download the rpm and follow the instructions as given on it.

After making my previous blog, i felt the necessity to make my own technical blog for myself for 2 reasons:

1,  Because i am an engineering  student in the field of computer science and engineering.

2 After switching from Microsoft Windows(blech!!!) to Linux(Fedora to be more precise), i felt it neceessary to have platform of my own where i could praise it to my hearts fill.

Hope it proves helpful to all those linux newbies out there.

Enjoy
