First Look At Fedora 11 Beta Release
Ars Technica has a first look at the latest beta release from the Fedora universe and it has several new shiny-bits including kernel modesetting, ext4, and faster boot times. "Fedora 11, which is codenamed Leonidas, is scheduled for final release at the end of May. It will include several new features and noteworthy improvements, such as RPM 4.7, which will reduce the memory consumption of complex package activity, tighter integration of PackageKit, faster boot time with a target goal of 20 seconds, and reduced power consumption thanks to a major tuning effort. This version of Fedora will ship with the latest version of many popular open source software programs, including GNOME 2.26, KDE 4.2, and Xfce 4.6. This will also be the first Fedora release — and possibly the first mainstream distro release — to use the new Ext4 filesystem by default.
The name of TFA is "First Look at Fedora 11 Beta," and the first quoted words in the summary are, "Fedora 11." If that doesn't tell you what version of Linux is involved, you don't belong here.

PulseAudio: the answer to a question no one asked.
Those of us with mixers broken in the ALSA driver apparently for eternity (snd-hda-intel) pulseaudio is the only way to actually have audio mixing. You don't know what you're talking about. Back away from the keyboard, please.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
If you don't know the difference between a distribution and the Linux kernel it is you that doesn't belong here.
Ubuntu did a shit job of implementing audio configurations.
Uh oh! Someone's about to be modded "flamebait" or "troll"!
