This morning, in a press release, Max Spevack said: "Beyond the usual set of upstream changes and improvements, our latest release is by far the most exciting and flexible to date. With our new open source build process, our community of contributors will enjoy much greater influence and authority in advancing Fedora. The ability to create appliances to suit very particular user needs is incredibly powerful."Spevack mentioned among the most important improvements in Fedora 7, the inclusion of the nouveau open source nVidia drivers, a lot more wireless cards than "just work" and Revisor, a new application for the creation of customized Fedora 7 distribution.
You can view the whole release announcement here.The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products and it is not a supported product of Red Hat.
The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community in order to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year with a public release schedule.You can download Fedora Core 7 now from Softpedia.[via]
