Fedora 7

The next version of Fedora will be released on May 31st. It will be called "Fedora 7" -- not "Fedora Core 7". It's the most ambitious release of Fedora that we've undertaken, and I hope that when we look back at Fedora 7 one or two years down the road, the decisions that we made for this release will have proven to be as impactful as anything we've done in the Fedora space since the start of the Fedora Project.

In one sentence: "Fedora 7 has been about improving the manner in which all future Fedora releases will be made."

I'm defiantly going to get this when it comes out. Hopefully they have improve the wireless support for broadcom chipsets. Pain in the butt having to do work arounds to get my dell wireless 1370 wlan-mini card(broadcom chipet) to work with fedora core 6.

What are you talking about? Wireless support is great in Fedora 6, broadcom chipsets suck universally under Linux as they are not well supported if at all. As proof I use an Atheros mini-pci-express card that is supported under the madwifi project and it works like a charm. Even better I use the madwifi-ng drivers and those get updated like once or twice a week(though they are experimental, but I never had problems with them)!
Almost the same applies to many brands of wireless cards using chipsets from Ralink, Prizm, Intel(though I didn't like the quality of the software for the IPW3945abg) and many more.

As for Fedroa 7, I am currently beta testing it on my testing machine (6.93) and it equally kicks ass, I have worked out most of the quirks that would annoy me once I upgrade my machine to Fedora 7, and I love the changes especially GNOME 2.18.0 :heart: and all the goodies in it, kudos to the Fedora 7 team :beer:

What do you mean what am I talking about, you must of missed the part where I said I hope they improve the wireless support for broadcom chipsets, which is what my dell wireless 1370 wireless card uses. I never said anything about fedora core 6 having bad wireless support.

Yes, the problem is not with improved support from Fedora Linux for Broadcom, it's the other way around, that's what I meant to say.
 
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Distros, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
Kilgore: I love the smell of a new linux distribution in the morning. You know, one time we had a release party, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' Windows install. The smell, you know that new cdrom smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
[Kilgore unhappily walks off]

Yes, the one you are talking about is usually in a "Live" folder in repos.
 
My Broadcom is finally working fantastic in Feisty. But yeah, previous to this it's been a pain. And it's one of the more popular wireless adapters as well.

Thanks! Will check it out today - if I can get a decent download speed that is. 😉

Edit: Link to LiveCD's Looks like there's Gnome & KDE versions. Cool! 😀
