Probably most Fedora community members already know this, but starting tomorrow the Give One Get One program returns, this time courtesy of Amazon. You’ll also be able to get a 4 GB SanDisk Extreme III SD Card to run Fedora 10, complete with extra swap space and live persistence. If …
Release notes. It looks like we have at least 12 locales with 100% completed translations for Fedora’s release notes, which is great. A few more may be rolling in shortly, because there are several that are almost done right now. By tomorrow we’ll be rolling the RPM package that will …
