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.

    • Exactly what I was thinking. All of a sudden in span of a month multiple CEO's from scam altman to this clown has had sudden change of heart does not seem organic change lol
    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
    • I am also on latest experimental with possible insider flags on and aiming in settings for 26h1.. Also see just this wasted space. I do love "movable" small taskbar though but would love more if it had date next to it now just time.
    • Does not make it more readable for me though. The majority of your screenshot is just pitch black.
