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."

    ... with Xorg 7.3, KDE 3.5.6, GNOME 2.18, and version 2.6.21... and many more numbers! More numbers than ever before. If it's numbers you want, you've come to the right distro!
