LBK Post 026 Linux Just Got Better With The Fedora 16 Beta Distribution


From:  http://www.makeuseof.com





Linux distributions have been improving by leaps and bounds, and those improvements are becoming visible in the latest beta releases. Fedora, one of the flagship distributions carrying GNOME 3, is no different and should have plenty of new features to make your mouth water.

GRUB 2

"The first new feature you may (or may not) notice is that Fedora finally uses GRUB 2 as the bootloader. While one might think that GRUB 2 was already in widespread use before this change, you perhaps don’t realize that GRUB 2, for the most part, was only implemented in any Debian-based distributions. Go outside of the Debian world and it’s a whole different story.

A Newer Kernel

From 2.6.38 to 3.0/"2.6.40"  Fedora 16.
