I'll be downloading it.

The release day says the 13th and there is no iso :|

The following is from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/9

Historically Test and General Availability releases happen at 10:00am Eastern US Time, which is either 1500UTC or 1400UTC depending on daylight savings in the United States

Their torrents list page (here) lists the version 9 releases, but are currently not active on the tracker with a "not authorized".

I have them in transmission, waiting for when they become active, so they hopefully start up while I am at work today and I can seed.

I see that the FedoraProject.org site no longer has the "in 1 day" graphic, and announces Fedora 9 on the main part.

Could it be that the torrents are now active? (I can't tell now, since I am at work, and my computer should hopefully be downloading and seeding several of the F9 versions now)

Yes, i believe the torrents have gone active. Also the main page has been updated with direct links for each download type (torrent, direct, jigsaw).

If you want a Red Hat based system because you like Red Hat based systems, then Fedora would be just fine, and it is used to preview (e.g. "test" ) technologies before they are brought into Red Hat.

If you want a Red Hat system because you will be using Red hat where you work, then you ought to look into either compiling your own Red Hat from the source code that Red Hat provides freely to you (per the GPL), or (much easier) use a copy that someone else has already done this for you, such as WhiteBox or CentOS.

I may give this a try. I'm a little bit disappointed in Ubuntu 8.04. 7.10 doesn't recognize my new ATI HD2600 Pro 512meg video card as being accelerated (The newer ATI drivers don't work at all for me either). What can any of you say of Fedora 9 so far?

Yea, so how is this compared to Hardy? Is Pulse Audio better integrated?, how hard is it to add proprietary codecs?

ext4 support is nice!

Also interesting is how they are including Firefox 3, when Ubuntu was so roundly criticized for it. (I am using it and it works just fine)

I think the controversy of FF3 being in the latest Ubuntu is that 8.04 is a LTS release (long-term-support) and is therefore meant to be considered stable...using beta software in a release that is meant to be stable seems a bit strange.

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.
