Phoronix: Fedora 12 Features Get Laid Out

Fedora 11 with all of its Nouveau support, Btrfs capabilities, and kernel mode-setting support glory isn't being released until later this month, but the features for Fedora 12 are already being planned out. A tentative feature list for this next Fedora release can already be found on the Fedora Project Wiki. Some of these features like straightforward multi-seat support were originally targeted at Leonidas but were then pushed back to Fedora 12. Additionally though, Red Hat intends to introduce liblvm in Fedora 12 to allow user-space applications to interface with an LVM (Logical Volume Manager)...

The default configuration is what it is, you can install the pidgin package it they "remove" it.

ohhh im disappointed.

I read "Fedora 12 Features Get Laid" from the forum index and i figured fedora got lucky.

12 fedora's, 9 ubuntu's. I think they need to follow the mandriva path and just throw a date on it :D

Fedora 12, codename "Elvis"
Leonidas was a king; Elvis is The King.
