Werewolf, Fedora’s Redeemer?
The latest distribution release of Fedora is Fedora 8 (codenamed ‘Werewolf’), which was released on November 8, 2007.
Immediately after Fedora 8 was unleashed, I made a post that gave an overview on its exciting new features. I also asked myself these questions: Is Werewolf Fedora’s Redeemer? Can Werewolf help put Fedora back on top? Two months later, I now have an answer because I have been using Fedora for almost two weeks already. So, here is my little story about the Werewolf.
Installation:
The good old Anaconda installer took care of the installation. What I like about Anaconda is the many options it provided to cater the more advanced users. But, non-advanced users need not worry as the process is very straightforward and the options are very easy to understand.
Look and Feel:
Overall, Fedora 8 is aesthetically pleasing. The Grub menu image, boot-splash image, log-in menu and splash image is a huge improvement over the previous version in terms of looks. The default desktop of Fedora 8 is Gnome and its new theme called ‘Nodoka’ is very polished and professional looking. The default wallpaper has a unique feature that changes color depending on the time of day.
