Fedora 21 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the can-now-drink-in-the-U.S. dept.

linuxscreenshot writes: The Fedora Project has announced the release of Fedora 21. "As part of the Fedora.next initiative, Fedora 21 comes in three flavors: Cloud, Server, and Workstation. Cloud is now a top-level deliverable for Fedora 21, and includes images for use in private cloud environments like OpenStack, as well as AMIs for use on Amazon, and a new "Atomic" image streamlined for running Docker containers. The Fedora Server flavor is a common base platform that is meant to run featured application stacks, which are produced, tested, and distributed by the Server Working Group. The Fedora Workstation is a new take on desktop development from the Fedora community. Our goal is to pick the best components, and integrate and polish them. This work results in a more polished and targeted system than you've previously seen from the Fedora desktop." Here are screenshots for Fedora 21: GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and MATE.

    I got it installed on my laptop a few hours ago, and so far no dramas. Nice work everyone.

    Funny people even ask about it. A lot of posters talk like systemd is a brand new scary thing, when it fact it's been in Fedora for a long time. Two and a half years, if I recall correctly.

    Actually, it's been three and a half years. Fedora 15 was the first Fedora with systemd and that was released in May, 2011.

    FreeBSD 9.0+ supports GPT and FreeBSD 10.1 supports UEFI now.
