Fedora Core 6 LiveCD Review
According to recent review posted at Linux.com (http://enterprise.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/11/1841241):
"This is really enabling, and empowers the various special interest groups in Fedora to do live CDs to showcase their work. For example, it's not unreasonable that the Fedora Music community might do their own live CD," Zeuthen says.
And surprisingly, the live CD tools will also help package maintainers. As per the live CD roadmap, there are plans to pump out daily live CD builds of the Fedora development tree, called rawhide. If there are dependency problems with packages in rawhide, the live CD won't get built, making the problem immediately obvious. Zeuthen thinks that this will encourage maintainers of broken packages to fix problems quickly.
Red Hat's Fedora to Get Longer Support
According to recent article posted at InternetNews.com (http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3653036):
"While the "Legacy" name might be disappearing, we're also planning to extend the time frame that a Fedora release is officially maintained from its current period, which is about 10 months, to probably something like 13 months," Spevack said.
"One of the things that Fedora users have been asking for is a longer official lifecycle, which sort of rolls some of the Legacy charter into the main Fedora distribution."
