[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-April/013822.html</ref> a video introduction to Fedora 14:
"...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."


"Fedora began in 2003 and the most recent version, 14 is codenamed Laughlin. In this video, we will begin with a brief history of the operating system, including a discussion of some of its unique features. We’ll then review installation options including CD/DVD and USB. In addition, if you’d like to test Fedora before permanently installing it on your hard disk, you can use virtualization software and we’ll cover that in another video.

The video continues with a look at the Fedora desktop and how to navigate and customize it to your liking. We’ll wrap up with a few key resources where you can learn more about the Fedora community."

[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-April/013820.html</ref> a posting on SPICE and KVM features in Fedora 15:
"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."


"I would definitely recommend KVM and SPICE to those with the required hardware to run it over Oracle's VirtualBox or any of the others... unless of course you need accelerated 3D. KVM / SPICE doesn't support accelerated 3D. I've heard a few other products do but I've not actually tried to use it so I don't know how well it works in practice. In any event, KVM / SPICE is definitely a good combination for distro hoppers now! :) Let it be known though, SPICE has not been optimized yet for WAN use but it works great over a LAN."

=== Virtual security: release of the first beta Qubes OS (The H Online) ===
=== Fedora 18 schedule slips by a week ===
 
[[User:Sundaram|Rahul Sundaram]] forwarded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/marketing/2011-April/013819.html</ref> a posting on Qubes OS and security features in it based on Fedora 14:


"The team led by security expert Joanna Rutkowska has released the first beta version of the Qubes OS Linux distribution. The operating system can also be installed on a USB stick thanks to its new installer. Qubes aims to provide security through virtualisation. It uses a Xen hypervisor to run applications in separate virtual machines based on Fedora 14. As a result, online banking data are not at risk when a game running in its own VM turns out to be a trojan."
"At a go/no-go meeting of the Fedora QA Team, the developers decided to postpone the release of the first Fedora 18 alpha by a week. The team unanimously voted to not go forward with the release because of the relatively large number of blocker bugs that are still unresolved."
