New Distro Releases on the Horizon
Spring is in the air and that can only mean one thing: several popular Linux distributions are getting ready for their next release. Let's take a look at the upcoming versions of Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSUSE to see what's new, what's improved, and what will be worth the wait.
Fedora 9's much-anticipated release is scheduled for May 13 and has several new features users will love. PackageKit is a tool that, according to its developers, makes the process of installing and updating software "suck less." You'll also be able to resize partitions during installation, create a LiveUSB image with persistent data, and get better bluetooth capabilities. Fedora 9 will also ship with the newest version of Mozilla's Internet browser Firefox3, and upgrades the KDE desktop environment from 3.5 to 4.
Ubuntu 8.04 is slated for release on April 24 and sports a bunch of software and core system features.
