Fedora20: new network configuration and support for ARM Devices

In order to fix bugs and enhance system stability, the latest FedoraLinux will be available in May a few weeks after the vote is skipped.

To fix bugs and enhance system stability, the latest Fedora Linux will be available in May a few weeks after it passes the vote. Fedora is an open-source operating system for RHEL software testing (that is, Red Hat will include software versions that run stably in the Fedora system into the RHEL system ), what changes will this update bring about? Let's take a look.

As early as the end of October, the Fedora Project announced that the official version of Fedora 20 will be released by one week (the Fedora Project plans to release a new version in April and October each year, but almost every time it jumps, so it's not surprising-the translator's remarks ). In February November 1, the Fedora Project announced that it would postpone the ora 20 for a week. Now we plan to release the Beta version again in November 12 and the official version in December 17.

This three-hop connection will make the Fedora user sad for a while, but developers say that the continuous modification of the release plan is to make the Fedora appear in the eyes of the masses in a more perfect fashion. (The perfect strategy of Fedora is in stark contrast to the efficiency-pursuing strategy of Ubuntu under Canonical. Ubuntu is more willing to release a new version as planned, which helps it seize the Linux market .)

Without mentioning the progress, Fedora users can still have great expectations for the latest and best version updates. For example, to make the desktop light-weight, Fedora 20 no longer installs some software by default, such as syslog and sendmail.

NetworkManager has added some useful functions, such as supporting the binding of bridges and NICs. In the past, to implement these two cool functions, You need to perform complex command line operations. In deploying complex network environments, especially in cloud computing and software defined network (SDN), Fedora is now more attractive to users.

The goal of Fedora 20 is to fully support ARM devices (especially ARM7hl), which can hold a place in mobile terminals and emerging hardware products.

These improvements make Fedora 20 the most striking Linux Desktop release this quarter-particularly in the Unbuntu 13.10 release last month. Ubuntu 13.10 brings very few updates to desktop users. (It is more about server and cloud updates .)

Red Hat selects stable and reliable software versions from Fedora and absorbs them into RHEL, so there will be many high-end users in the Fedora community. For these users in the community, this update is also of great significance. They should be able to get the official Fedora 20 version in December (if they do not skip) and wait for Red Hat to add these new features to RHEL.
