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.

    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
    • I don't have a problem with adverts, I not fond of the tracking. My main problem is when you have to keep clicking close to remove them before you can see anything On the site. The ones that keep updating and moving stuff around as they are different sizes are as bad. Neowin is not too bad with Adverts, but ones that keeps updating or have animation can be distracting when reading something, like the one showing now, about how much should I walk to lose weight. I realise sites need adverts to survive, but stop changing them every few seconds.
    • SQL Server Management Studio 22.7 brings "What's New" page, T-SQL formatting, and lots more by Usama Jawad SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is the tool of choice for most developers working with SQL infrastructure and data. Microsoft recently released SSMS version 22, and in the past few months, it has been steadily releasing point upgrades to refine the integrated development environment (IDE). Now, it has released SSMS version 22.7.0 with a bunch of new features and interfaces. For starters, SSMS 22.7 has netted a native "What's New" page, which highlights the top features and bug fixes present in the latest release. However, Microsoft says that this page won't annoy you much as it will only show up each time you update SSMS, and once you dismiss it, it won't be shown again to you until the next release. Secondly, Microsoft has finally introduced T-SQL formatting inside SSMS. The good thing about this is that it does not require installing any additional components, as it is built into the native experience. All you have to do is right-click the query editor window and select Format SQL from the context menu. Additionally, you also have several customization options at your disposal, such as the ability to automatically place semicolons at the end of a statement, split clauses across multiple lines, and more. However, this capability is only in preview for now. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a preview of Agent Mode, which allows the AI model to automatically perform complex workflows on your behalf. Furthermore, Agent Mode will operate in read-only mode by default, so that you don't have to worry about the AI model accidentally deleting your data. On a related note, Microsoft is finally allowing users to configure the execution context of GitHub Copilot. This can be controlled per database using the CONSTITUTION.md file, where you specify the user details for the agentic executor. You can find details about this and additional bugfixes in Microsoft's blog post here.
    • I only use 3 extensions in Zen. I don't need or want a ton of stuff in my browser i don't use.
    • I prefer to choose my own ad bockers, not what the browser seems to think I need. i remember the days when a browser was just that, now they try and be everything and add stuff in that not all of us want. I bet Brave is full of AI rubbish? I will stick with Zen, not perfect, but better than others.
