Fedora 7 hits the streets

The official Fedora 7 torrents have been released and you can find them right here: Fedora project mirrors. The distribution are available in several forms, like Live CDs with GNOME or KDE desktops or a DVD. All you have to do is download the .ISO files, burn them on your disks and start "the game".

Although Fedora was known for it’s massive innovations and improvements of the Linux distributions (It was the first one to use SELinux security system), nowadays, the new Fedora 7 has settled to be a complete distribution that can be easily used by beginners and advanced users too. Maybe that’s why the name "Fedora Core" has been dubbed for the plain "Fedora", the new distribution merging both the Fedora Core and Fedora Extras package, containing just free license released software.

Of course, some upgrades have been made to the back end, but the visible ones for every users are the new virtualization tools, desktops and language packs. In the end, Fedora 7 seems to be a moderate distribution of Linux, from the number of options available and their complexity, situated somewhere between Ubuntu (below) and Debian (above).

I haven’t got time to check out Fedora 7 myself, as i have many things on my head right now, but I’ll give it a try as soon as possible. Maybe I’ll put it on my portable WD Passport in order to have a bootable system in my pocket every time Till then, i found this well made review here, that might come in handy.
