[clug-talk] Fedora 7 is Out with some grat news

[bogi]

Well, so it was released as a birthday present for me :-)
I can say wit a lot of very intresting new features, 
Check release notes here:

http://fedoraproject.org/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES-en_US/sn-OverView.html#sn-Fedora-Tour

And some highlights :

- -The mac80211 (formerly called Devicescape) wireless stack has been 
integrated with the kernel.

Jeeha, wireless will likely work now :-)

- -This release of Fedora includes Liberation fonts, which are metric 
equivalents for several well-known proprietary fonts found throughout the 
Internet. 

This essentially means that them ttf font sets available from for (free) 
download but are not "free" , have been replaced with really free fonts. Well 
done.


- -Fedora now integrates the experimental nouveau driver within Xorg 

	this is very very intresting, these drivers are slated to replace the 
non-free 3d accelerated drivers for Nvidia. I would like to try this out on 
the installfest with suitable hardware.

 
- - A new comprehensive graphical administration tool for SELinux, 
system-config-selinux is available by default in this release. 

A long long awaited addition directly from redhat. Finally it would be more 
humane to deal with seLinux beyond the shut_it_off solution :-)

Ok, so i will not spoil everything :-) 

I will start downloading after the post, i should have the iso by the end of 
today ... anyone needing a copy is welcome.

Cheers
