Thread: Fedora 10 releasing today!

well ,2.6.27 contains ext4dev(development version).with 2.6.28 ,they released ext4 which is almost stable.albeit some people complains about the need of frequent fscking needs due to the file system showing itself as fully occupied.

ext4 according to most reviews is a very fast file system.with a ext4 file system,you will experience faster copying of files.defragmentation is not needed in ext2/3 fs.only when u move a large chunk of GB's of data which is copied/moved regularly for eg: in torrent downloads in a / root directory without seperate /home partition.
Ext4 FS claims to have a online defragmentation system to solve this.

OMG Fedora 11 is going to be an impressive release:

Fedora 11 Will Have An Incredible Number Of New Features California Quantum

Some virtualisation goodness: Cole's hacking + music log: virt-manager in Fedora 11: 'New VM' wizard redesign

huh? i thot they were going to enable ext4 by default while ubuntu would have it as an option...

or were you meaning in F10 itself? they probably need to test a little by then it will be time to release F11 anyway...

recompiling kernel doesnot depend on distros yaara.the good thing is debian distros with kernel_package can make a installable .deb of kernel,headers,modules etc .
you boldly go and give a try.install the necessary utilities.you may want to check the version of various applications like binutils ,gcc etc.I think howtoforge.com will have good documentation for fedora kernel compiling.
