Fedora 7 Released

Posted by kdawson on from the get-yer-fresh-bits dept.

fedoraman writes "Fedora 7 has been released. With Xorg 7.3, KDE 3.5.6, GNOME 2.18, and version 2.6.21 of the Linux kernel Fedora 7 comes with all the latest and greatest open source desktop software. Fedora 7 drops the traditional 'Core' nomenclature, since it includes both what used to be termed the Core and Extra components by default. Fedora 7 is also the first release to be constructed with Fedora's revolutionary new build system, which is designed to improve the ease of developing derivatives and Fedora-based software appliances. As usual, extensive documentation and release notes are available. Torrents are also available and ISO images can be downloaded from mirrors around the world."

    RedHat is NOT Linux. Fedora is an unstable and low quality product used to make linux newcomers accustomed to a completely non-standard distribution and then become reliant on it and be forced to pay for RedHat should they want to use it in a production environment as they are unable to use a genuine standards adherent Linux distribution.

    Fedora is a steaming pile. (Of what? You choose...)

    Take a reading comprehension class dickhead. No-one has any complaints filed against me. I have filed two criminal reports that are still pending.

    Be careful with allegations like the one you just made. It's easy to be a coward behind a keyboard, but that shit can get you fucked up badly if you ever meet someone you've made those kind of statements to in real life.
