Countdown To Fedora 9

Fedora 9 - 21 Days To Go

As the great powers that be at wordpress don’t allow scripts to be executed in wordpress.com hosted blogs, I can’t show the nifty Fedora 9 counter. I could upload a new image every day, but that’s probably not going to happen .

Having spent a few days working with the current rawhide snapshot, Fedora 9 seems to be shaping up really nicely. Of all the major distro development branches, Fedora’s rawhide has to be one of the most volatile (Debian’s Sid is a server grade by comparison), but nevertheless the Fedora guys always churn out a solid high quality release and Fedora 9 is going to be a strong contender in the spring round of Linux distro releases.

If you don’t know anything about Fedora then you are living a considerably less fulfilled life, and should read this overview immediately.
In short, Fedora is the best Linux distribution around, and I think it’s pretty cool .
