A belated congrats to the team at Fedora for releasing version 7 of their distribution recently.
I figured it was only fair to post on this since I recently promoted the latest releases of my distros of choice (Debian 4 and Ubuntu 7.04). I haven’t really had time to check out Fedora 7 yet, but it looks like it’s got a lot of cool new stuff.
They dropped the “core” from their name as well, which is nice, since “core” doesn’t seem appropriate for anything that is distributed on five cds. 
(just a little Linux geek mockery).
But seriously, I have to give them credit for a great distro and respect their conservative stance on the issue of “free software”. I haven’t actually used Fedora on a regular basis, but I do remember Red Hat (version 4) being the first Linux distribution I used on a regular basis for work (back in 1997-98). I had experimented with Slackware a bit before that, but never really did anything other than spend time messing with it.
It has certainly come a long way since then, and it’s pretty impressive today.
