“In particular, Fedora 12 advances the state of Linux system
privilege management on multiple fronts and exhibits continued
progress in virtualization.“Red Hat’s leading-edge Linux-based operating system, Fedora,
hit a beta milestone this week on the way to its Version 12
release. As with Ubuntu Linux, which recently underwent a beta
release of its own, Fedora 12 will be packed with the latest and
greatest versions of popular open-source applications, such as the
OpenOffice.org productivity suite, the Firefox Web browser, and
up-to-date releases of the GNOME and KDE desktop environments.“Beyond these typical Linux updates, the updates that have
caught my eye in this version deal with strengthening the core of
the distribution and of Linux distributions in general, as Red
Hat’s open-source innovations trickle downstream into other
Linux-based operating systems. In particular, Fedora 12 advances
the state of Linux system privilege management on multiple fronts
and exhibits continued progress in virtualization.”
