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.
1... and GO!

Oh yeah, well tonight, I in fact plan on dining in Hell.
Doesn't Ext4 have occasional issues with data integr)_SF*@)_M#$ I'm surprised to see it used by defau#%FVN641
I went to eat some animal crackers and the box said, "Do not eat if seal is broken." I opened the box and sure enough..

I'm a long, long time RedHat user. (Since Red Hat Linux 5.1, if you're curious)
I suddenly feel very, very old.

PulseAudio isn't even "bleeding edge" software, it's more "oh god that edge just went clean through my torso and cut me in half oh god there's blood everywhere I'm going to die".
Mother-in-law doing the cooking?
Today is red jello day - all workers must eat all of their red jello. Failure to comply will result in five demerits.
It really sucked when most of the users could never have more than one application using audio simultaneously. Also controlling the devices could not be offered via unified user interface.
I solved that problem by installing a PCI sound card I found in the trash. It can cope with me forkbombing sox processes at it and it has a unified user interface - the three sound buttons on my keyboard that run aumix.
Compare this to Pulseaudio, which manages to combine the obtrusiveness of aRts, the unusability of a Gnome GUI, and the uselessness of a network server that sounds like trying to stream a wav file over 56k - on the rare occasions that it produces any result at all.
