Fedora项目是一份由Red
Hat策划的开放开发项目,它向普通参与者开放并由精英管理者领导,沿着一系列项目目标而前进。Fedora项目的目标是与Linux社区协作,只从开放
源码软件来创建一份完整的、通用的操作系统。其开发过程是以公开论坛的形式进行的。项目将按时间计划,每年作两到三次Fedora的发布,并提供一份公开
的发布日程表。Red
Hat工程组将继续参与Fedora的开发,并且将比以往更多地邀请和鼓励外界的参与。通过采用这样一种更加开放的过程,我们希望能提供一份更加符合自由
软件理念并且对开放源码社区更具吸引力的操作系统。 Jesse Keating has announced the second test release of Fedora 8: "This is the second test release of the Fedora 8 release, which is scheduled for November 8, 2007." Both the release announcement and the release notes are sketchy about the changes in this release, but we know that it does include the latest release candidate of GNOME 2.20, a release candidate of kernel 2.6.23, a new system logging daemon called Rsyslog, and PulseAudio - an advanced sound server which is compatible with nearly all existing Linux sound systems and allows for hot-switching audio outputs. If you are interested in helping to beta test this release, please download the installation DVD and live CD images from these mirrors sites or get them via BitTorrent: Fedora-8-Test-2-i386.iso (2,885MB), Fedora-8-Test-2-x86_64.iso (3,427MB). |
