Review: Fedora 10
I've previously reviewed Fedora 10 Beta and I liked what I saw, though was a bit jaded by the difficulties in setting up proprietary drivers. Much time has passed and Fedora 10 (final) was released on the 25th of November, 2008 – more than enough time for polish to be added and a hundred or so updates to fix the more obvious bugs.
The installation was quite quick though this is because it leaves the configuration of the system till the first boot. This again, isn't a lengthy process and soon I was at a fresh Fedora 10 desktop (which looks the same as the live CD, minus the install icon.
The menu style is a very typical gnome layout, though with a few differences to differentiate themselves from other popular gnome based distributions. The System menu has a grouped Preferences, Add/Remove Programs is under System/Administration and there's no shut-down link on the top panel (again, under System). This isn't bad, it's just different.
