An essay regarding why a big number of projects is better than just a few, as some suggest.

http://lifehacker.com –
"This week's release of the Fedora 9 Linux distribution makes putting a full-fledged desktop on a portable USB thumb drive a three-click affair.

http://blog.devhen.com –
One of the great new features in Fedora 8 is the inclusion of the PulseAudio sound server. PulseAudio allows multiple streams of audio to be played at once, eliminating the worry of having your sound card locked up by another running program. There's also a handy volume control applet that will let you set the volume of each audio stream independently. That's right folks, listen to your MP3s, watch (and listen!) to a YouTube video, and voice chat with your IM buddies, all at the same time and with independent control over each program's volume. Setting up PulseAudio is very easy. Read on for instructions.

Open source project: Func, the Fedora Unified Network Controller
http://www.redhatmagazine.com –
Func had an interesting beginning. It began not in a whiteboard-lined conference room, but in a small coffeeshop in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Greg DeKoenigsberg, Adrian Likins, Seth Vidal, and I were discussing how to make Linux easier to manage for large install bases. That’s when we came up with the idea for Func.

You’ve heard it before, back up your hard drive. And kind of like the adult voices in Peanuts comics strips, you tend to tune out the droning noise and attend to more pressing matters, like getting stuff done and making deadlines. Before you know it, you have a full year of important work, photos, files on your hard drive and it’s still not backed-up. Time creeps along, and suddenly BAM, you’re staring into a blue blank screen and find yourself repeating over and over, “I shoulda, woulda, coulda.” To get life again, you even re-install Windows, but it still won’t reboot.

Fedora 8: An Assault On Ubuntu
http://www.madpenguin.org –
Lately, I have been looking into other distributions that, like Ubuntu, are working to make strides to attract new users. I still have Debian Etch burned to a CD, waiting for a test in our lab. Next up is going to be Fedora. In the past, I have never been too impressed with RPM-based distributions, but to be fair, most of this came from nightmare scenarios with Mandriva and SuSE.
