Fedora 20 Released

Posted by timothy on from the is-it-a-true-fedora? dept.

sfcrazy writes "The Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora 20, code named Heisenbug (release notes). Fedora 20 is dedicated to Seth Vidal, the lead developer of Yum and the Fedora update repository, who recently died in a road accident. Gnome is the default DE of Fedora, and so it is for Fedora 20. However unlike Ubuntu (where they had to create different distros for each DE) Fedora comes with KDE, XFCE, LXDE and MATE. You can install the DE of your choice on top of base Fedora."

    Heisenbug - nice. A fitting name for a bleeding edge distro.

      Are you upgrading? I'm uncertain.

      With Linux, are you ever really DONE installing?

    Oh yes!
    I've struggled for months trying to use things like grep and less, you've no idea how many weeks I've been stumped trying to use cat!

    I've been playing with journalctl, and I've managed to learn it all within about 3 days! It's a miracle! Now I can finally drop the endless nights spent scrolling through logs with less!!

    If only we could have a tool to change plain text files to systemd log format, and I could use the wonder that is journalctl to parse and find things in them, instead of awful grep. There should be a text edit built in to systemd that does this and allows me to edit files and configurations, imagine how much better it would all be with this wonder of journalctl!
