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."

    The KDE option is their for those that don't like Gnome3.
    Now I drive Dodge trucks so should I whine and bitch about Chevys and what an unholy mess their electrical systems are?
