=== Linux kernel to fully support Xen: Too little too late? (Techtarget.com) ===

kernel. In contrast, Xen has always worked well on Linux platforms, but
since 2007 users have needed to apply a significant kernel patch and do
some configuration not included in the core Linux distributions to make
it work. That’s a headache and a support issue for OSS vendors and IT
staff. By contrast, since KVM’s inclusion in the kernel and declared
support from the major distributions such as Red Hat and Ubuntu, getting
a KVM environment going is easier and also encouraged by the distributors."

"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."

Committee (FESCo) resolved to use Btrfs as the standard file system in
Fedora 16 "Verne". Btrfs was called the "Next Generation File System for
Linux" by numerous major kernel developers two years ago and is still
labelled as experimental. For Fedora 16 there will be a "simple switch"
from Ext4 to the new file system; therefore Fedora's installation
program will not force Btrfs' RAID- and LVM-like capabilities onto users."

community project Linux distribution Fedora showed great stability, and  it was simple to add applications onto the platform. We had no problem with hardware drivers and the new GNOME 3 GUI was easy to use, even though initially we did seem to be blundering about. Fedora would suit  corporate road warriors who would like a combined Fedora-Windows dual-boot system (in case of OS failure), or anybody interested enough to see how far Linux has advanced compared to Windows and Mac OS X operating systems."
