Fedora 17 Released

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-like-a-movie-title dept.

ekimd writes "Fedora 17 aka "Beefy Miracle" is released. Some of the major features include: ext4 with >16TB filesystems, dynamic firewall configuration, automatic multi-seat, and more. Major software updates include Gnome 3.4, GIMP 2.8, and GCC 4.7. The full feature list can be found here. Personally, I still find Gnome 3 to be an 'unholy mess' so I'm loving XFCE with Openbox."

    Good heavens, what an unfortunate name for a Linux release.

      You think that's bad, Ubuntu 13.04 is going to be called Rampant Rabbit.

      Ubuntu 8.04 was a spoonerism for Hairy Hardon. Once someone pointed it out, it became practically impossible to remember the original.
