While we’re trying to get used to Fedora 9, Fedora 10 final release is coming in eight days, of course there has been a Beta release and a preview release before that to test and report bugs. This upcoming final release is about to change lots of features Fedora hadn’t changed before, for example in Fedora 10 the boot process is quicker than all the previous releases, and of course this upcoming release includes the latest Linux kernel 2.6.27, which has a great support for webcams and wireless network cards, here are some other features:
- Better printing: Fedora 10 handles better the printers and their management.
- AMQP infrastructure: A technology that enables you to build interoperable, scalable enterprise applications.
- Adhoc connection sharing support.
- Eclipse 3.4: The famous Eclipse is present with its latest release.
- Endev input driver: The default input driver for the X server is Endev, this latter provides hotplugging capabilities for keyboards and mice at run-time, with more stability of course.
- First Aid Kit: An excellent recovery tool, it tries to fix your system when it has a problem, with a possibility of undoing its changes.
- Glitch Free Audio which is an updated PulseAudio sound server.
- Gnome 2.24.
- KDE 4.1.
- NetBeans IDE.
- RPM 4.6.
- Better virtual storage.
- Improved Apple Macintosh hardware support.
I just mentionned some features you can see them all from this link.

I can’t wait to install the final release, Fedora is my favorite Linux distribution, its popularity makes its development very fast-growing, since Fedora 10 is all new, you might not find all your packages on Fedora or third party repositories like Livna, it takes a while to package everything to Fedora 10, I hate waiting, I hope it will be as fast as it was for Fedora 9.
So, in 8 days from now, you’ll be able to download the Fedora 10 final release, enjoy.
