What's new in Fedora 10 (Heise)

Heise has a detailed review of Fedora 10, written by Fedora contributor Thorsten Leemhuis. "Compared with other distributions, Cambridge uses a rather sparingly extended Linux version 2.6.27.5 kernel. The largest of the patches used in the Fedora kernel's source RPM provide support for KMS [kernel mode setting], squashfs and utrace as well as the Atl2, At76, Lirc and Nouveau drivers. In addition, the Fedora developers have updated the Ext4 support to largely match that of the main development branch of Linux which is currently due to produce the 2.6.28 kernel; with this kernel version, the kernel hackers will complete the file system's main development phase."
