=== Update on Fedora 15 Development - GNOME 3 Shell Updates (montanalinux.org) ===
=== The 5 most popular Linux distributions ===


[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-March/013767.html</ref> a posting on Gnome 3 shell experience in Fedora 15:
"...Fedora clearly has its fans. And, if you work on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) development, it's a really wise idea to keep a copy of Fedora on hand so you can see RHEL's future."


"I've been using the GNOME 3 Shell more and I really like the changes they've made since the Fedora 15 Alpha release. These changes include larger icons in the Applications list and auto-managed virtual desktops. Some people call this a "dumbing down" of the interface but I prefer to call it streamlining. If you have a lot of previous GNOME 2.x experience you might perceive it to be counter-intuitive... but give it a little while. The streamlining really makes the new environment easy to learn and use. It is elegant, and as one blogger put it... "it looks expensive"."

=== Fedora introduces new top-level directory for runtime data (Network World) ===

[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-March/013768.html</ref> another upcoming feature in Fedora 15:
 
""Fedora 15 will come with a lot of new features and interesting changes — including a whole new top-level directory in the form of /run for runtime data.


This may sound trivial to many, but top-level directories tend to be a touchy topic in some circles. Consider that there's an entire standard that was hashed out years ago, it's surprising to see a top-level directory casually introduced.

But Poettering says that he already has buy-in from the other major distributions."
"Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow) and future releases — along with RHEL 7 and future CentOS releases — will be the best way to enjoy a vanilla Gnome 3 experience."

=== Linux distributions to include /run/ directory (The H Online) ===
=== Fedora 18 Linux Set To Package Spherical Cow Load of Features ===
 
[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-March/013769.html</ref> another posting about the new /run directory in Fedora 15:


"Poettering says that the introduction of the new directory wasn't just his own idea but that it has been discussed among the Debian, Fedora, Suse and Upstart developers; Colin Watson said that he is happy to support the use of the new directory in Ubuntu. Poettering indicated that many developers working in this area may have wanted something like /run for quite a while, but that they may have feared the potential political consequences and discussions"
"The clock is starting to tick down on the Fedora Linux release with the feature freeze now in place. As such, now is as good a time as any to take a look at some of the new features that are likely to land when Fedora 18 goes live at the end of the year."
