Fedora 9 (Sulphur) Released

Posted by timothy on from the well-this-one-isn't-debian-based dept.

BrianGKUAC writes "Fedora 9 has been released as of 10 AM Eastern Time this morning. Release notes can be found here. Some of the more interesting new features include a new package management system, which can be used as an alternative to pup and pirut, known as PackageKit. This release also includes GNOME 2.22 and/or KDE 4.0.3, and Firefox 3 beta 5. Overall, there are a lot of improvements worth looking at, and the Bittorrent seeds are already feeding the release fairly effectively."

    1. Fedora is not a production OS
    2. FF3 is due out in the near future, so F9 will have the current release then, as opposed to the old version 2.
