"New Fedora 11 features include one that will be useful for people working on desktop PCs that connect to Fedora servers in the back end, Frields said. A new automatic-content installation feature, that uses Fedora's PackageKit software-management system, lets users automatically download a font, feature or even an application they need if they come across a file that needs an extension not found locally on a PC.

""If I email you a document using OpenOffice.org on your new Fedora 11 system, you can download that attachment and PacketKit will install it for you," he said."
