With GNOME 2.24.1, KDE 4.1.2, OpenOffice 3.0, Firefox 3.0.4, RPM 4.6, the glitch free version of PulseAudio and numerous other improvements.br /br /Fedora 10 installation ran smoothly with the mature Fedora Installer providing many options like ext4 partitions, encrypted partition and many more.Apart from the usual installation media (one DVD, six CDs), the Fedora project also provides numerous spins – ISO images of live media which can not only be transferred to CDs but also to USB sticks. After installation the as the graphical boot didn't worked perfectly as my card was not officially supported the cool ascii artwork progress bar went straight and with adding parameter vga=0x318 the full potential of graphical boot splashed my monitor. And the Plymouth boot is faster and better than ever as promised.br /br /Cambridge had the latest version of packages like Eclipse 3.4, Gimp 2.6.2 and Firefox 3.0.4 and other.The RPM package system now included is version 4.6, which was recently released by rpm.org. The Yum package management tool, known for its sluggish operation, is noticeably faster in Cambridge. However, users don't necessarily need the command line program for installing and updating applications, as Fedora offers PackageKit frontends for GNOME and KDE and is installed by default.br /br /Finally, Fedora 10 brings many latest improvements of the open community to your desktop.
