Exclusive Fedora Interview - With project leader, Paul W. Frields
This year on May 13th, Fedora 9 was released into the wild. Dubbed Sulphur, it introduced for the first time in the history of Fedora, support for encrypted filesystem, PackageKit as the default graphical package manager, ext4 filesystem support and PreUpgrade. We wanted to know more about this Linux distribution and about the upcoming Fedora 10 release, so we've contacted the project leader, Paul W. Frields, for an in-depth interview.
Softpedia: Is Fedora 9 a prelude for the next release, Fedora 10? If it is, how does it prepare the user for F10?
Paul W. Frields: I think each Fedora release very much exists on its own, but shows a rapid evolution of technology as well. So in each release, you see improvements on technologies introduced in the last release, and the introduction of brand new ones as well. I think that's a necessity for continuity and stability. For instance, in this release we saw an evolution of our Live image tools to support non-destructive, persistent Live USB. The Live USB tool existed in the previous release but it didn't have the persistence capability as part of the package.
