The Fedora Project offered a peek under its kimono recently with details about Fedora 7 adoption and other statistics. Fedora 7 has snagged more than 300,000 users since its release at the end of May. While that sounds pretty good, Fedora Core 6 managed to attract more than 400,000 in roughly the same amount of time after its release.

It is not unusual to see people comparing Fedora to Ubuntu or pointing out how Ubuntu is gaining “mind share”, more hits on google, etc. I question the validity of these comparison. Sure, any two or more things can be compared and one can garner more attention than another, but that doesn’t mean one is better unless you have common criteria.

Alolita Sharma and Robert Adkins met up with Max Spevack, chairman of the Fedora project, at the Red Hat Summit in San Diego to talk about all things Fedora and the road ahead.

Did you know that there are over 150 free games available in Fedora? Next time your weekend plans are spoiled by rain, download a couple of these games instead. You can get all of them through the Add/Remove Software utility in your Applications menu. And if you can spare it, spend $20 on a USB joystick, because they’re even more fun with an authentic arcade setup.

Fedora 7 (not Fedora Core 7) is out. The web will be buzzing with reviews and feature sets. Here is an excellent article on Red Hat Magazine about new graphical tools to build live and installable ISOs - including the new Revisor which will be in the software repositories soon.
