Reviewed: Fedora 11

” Along the way there have been a few duds, but in recent times
Fedora has been really delivering on its promise of the four Fs:
“Freedom, Friends, Features, First”. Fedora 10 was a rock-steady
release that introduced a slew of new features, and Leonidas is
promising more of the same.

“Other smart folk were quick off the bat to review Fedora 11,
but we’re not like that. Instead, it takes us a few weeks to
properly settle down into a distro to see what we make of it. Read
on for our findings, then read the comments to our earlier post to

“Installing the system is as straightforward as you could
possibly hope. Installers usually tread the fine line between
making the process easy and supplying the advanced options that
power users need. The only area where Fedora 11 possibly falls down
is the disk space provisioning: the default option at install time
is always to hijack the main boot drive or replace an existing
Linux install. The custom route leads you into a graphical parted
system, which, while comprehensive, is not often as easy to follow
as you might wish. At least it handles all sorts of storage,
including iSCSI.”
