The Fedora Project this week released Fedora 11, which adds a number of attractive new features to the Linux OS.

"Fedora 11, which was code named Leonidas, includes virtualization console improvements that ease the task of moving between the host operating system and the guest operating system environments," writes Computerworld's John Fontana. "And the operating system has an improved Virtual Machine Creation Wizard, which supports a wider variety of hardware and new workflow processes that makes it easier to deploy virtual machines (VM)."

"Reading through Fedora 11's feature list, the geek in you may get giddy seeing the use of ext4 as the default file system. Not me," writes CNET's Matt Asay. "I don't care about the underpinnings of the operating system. I just want it to work.
This is, in fact, Fedora 11's biggest selling point: it just works. And fast, too: from powering on to logging in takes 20 seconds or less. Beat that, Windows!"
