Fedora 7 will be the next release of Fedora. It is highlighted by the elimination of the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras entirely; there is only Fedora.

Intertesting How To written by a woman, Val Henson.

TuNiSiaNo sent me some screenshot of his Fedora box, PPC architecture and Gnome environment. I liked the one above. Under the Firefox Logo it’s written:
