Fedora 9 Beta Preview
It's been almost two months since Fedora 9 Alpha was released, which we subsequently previewed. Now with the release of Fedora 9 just being 35 days out, Red Hat has pushed out the beta release of Fedora 9 (codenamed Sulphur) with many more features implemented and ready to be tested. We have taken the time to explore the features of Fedora 9 and the progress that has been made.
The Fedora developers are almost complete on cutting down the number of dictionaries that ship and are being used inside of Fedora. Previous to Fedora 9 there were separate dictionaries inside OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, and Aspell. The dictionary that Fedora is turning to is Hunspell. Nearing completion but still further noticeable work left is on integrating the EXT4 file-system and adding support into the Red Hat Anaconda installer for encrypted file-system support (Encrypted Filesystem Benchmarks).
