rach Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Fedora Project has announced that Fedora 20 “Heisenbug” is now available for download, just in time to celebrate the 10th anniversary since the Project’s creation.Unfortunately, the 20th release of Fedora is dedicated to Seth Vidal, a developer who passed away this year.“On July 8, the Fedora Project lost Seth Vidal, a dedicated, tireless, and brilliant contributor. Seth was a lead developer of Yum and the Fedora update repository system. He worked to ensure that the technical and community infrastructure of Fedora worked well and consistently for users and contributors around the world.“Seth touched the lives of hundreds of Fedora contributors directly and millions of others indirectly by improving the experience of using and updating Fedora. The Fedora Project dedicates the Fedora 20 release to Seth and asks that you join us in remembering his generous spirit and incredible work that helped make Fedora what it is today. We miss you, Seth,” reads the official announcement.This has to be one of the biggest releases made by the Fedora project, and it incorporates a lot of spins which are already available along with the base version.Highlights of Fedora 20 “Heisenbug”:• GNOME has been updated to version 3.10, which comes with several new applications and features, including a new music application (gnome-music), a new maps application (gnome-maps), and much more;• KDE Plasma Workspaces has been updated to version 4.11 and it features better Nepomuk indexing, improvements to Kontact, KScreen integration in KWin, Metalink/HTTP support for Kget, and a few others;• Ruby on Rails has been updated to version 4.0;• NetworkManager is getting several improvements in Fedora 20 that will be welcome additions for power users and system administrators;• systemd journal now takes the place as the default logging solution for minimal and other selected installation methods.Check the official announcement for more details about this release.

insanedown58 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 so I have a small netbook.it came with winxp...if i run fedora on it what can i expect...i have not yet played around with anything linuxExpect a fairly slow system. I recommend Xubuntu, Linux Lite or Manjaro. All are using the XFCE desktop which is light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janedoe Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE LOL, I just realized it's not spelled the same.probably not a coincidence it is has similar spelling...good marketing Uhh, coincidence doesn't even remotely come into the picture. Heisenbug (due to its nature) is a pun on the name of Werner Heisenberg, he of the Uncertainty Principle fame (basic school physics). Also Walter White chose the physicist's name as an alias because he too was an educator who was diagnosed with and died of cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCross Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I tried Fedora 15 or 16, don't remember exactly, it had some bugs then, too many times the desktop froze. I'll try this version later on. Edited December 21, 2013 by AlexCross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Anonymous_Doe Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Reason why I don't like Linux is that it's a pain in the a$$ to configure Mobile Broadband connection with it, I have 4G USB stick model.That's why Windows is easier.

Yorel Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I don't think Heisenbug is a coincidence either. Maybe they thought the name would attract people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
