There is no mp3 feed for Fedora Reloaded.

Skirlet shows off her new Black Macbook (not the fancy new metal ones, the end-of-the-rev black plastic one) and reveals all about how Fedora 10 runs on it. Hint: amazingly well!

I have been running the 64bit version of Fedora 10 on a test machine for a while, and this morning when Fedora 10 was released I decided to go try my luck at downloading the 32bit version so I could upgrade my main box. I was very surprised to find the /get-fedora page had been reorganized a bit:

To the right there are new buttons advertising very clearly and happily for “KDE Fans Go Here” and that if you “Have a PowerPC? Go here!” or just to “See All Downloads”. At last! KDE and PowerPC users getting a tip of the hat (yes, I’m strongly biased as those are the two versions of Fedora I use), but more importantly, people coming to that page are getting a very pretty and simply guide to where they need to go.

Furthermore, a bit lower on the page was a clear and concise note that if you upgrading your Fedora system, that was OK too, and a link was provided to read about how exactly the upgrade process goes.

Wow. This was one of the best designed and executed download pages for a Linux distro I have seen in a long time… if not ever. Truly, this was easy, simple, attractive, not-confusing, and pleasure to look at and navigate through. I don’t know who is responsible for this — a web team or a division of the art team — but it was well done.

Yes, Fedora 10 is out today! Go download it from your nearest ftp mirror or torrent it or whatever you must do — but get it! Klaatu discusses some of the new features, talks about bug reporting, talks about some more new features, and talks about what Fedora is really all about.

No Skirlet this episode, as she is moving into a new apartment.

Music is by Mike Griffen (beginning titles & incidental music)
and Bop Monroe & Pocket Monster 2000 (end music)

You can download the episode in the free OGG format

Sorry, no mp3 file this time, as Klaatu is currently on the run from an angry mob of MPEG members.

Do you know what alt-t does in a BASH shell? You will after this episode.

MythTV is one of those shining stars of Free Software innovation, but it’s also gained a reputation for being really difficult to set up! Well, Skirlet and Klaatu have no idea about setting up MythTV, but their good friend Hammer does — and his Myth distro of choice is MythDora, which, using Fedora as its foundation, makes getting a Myth Box up and running a pleasure rather than a chore.

Believe it or not, there will be a new episode, and soon! Klaatu has had a change of job and apartment, so whilst he re-gathers his wits and his unpacks his things, take the time to relax, smell the flowers, and ponder the greatness that is Linux, and Fedora Linux. Sooner than you realize, there will be a new episode of Fedora Reloaded and things will be back to normal.

Thanks for listening!
