The red-hat sponsored linux OS, fedora's next version i.e, 15 will be wearing GNOME 3 and not KDE. The beta version of the OS was released this tuesday. Fedora 15 users will witness a lot of changes from it's previous versions.
"Fedora 15 has some pretty large feature changes," said Jared Smith, Fedora project leader. "It is significantly different from the GNOME 2 desktop. It has a different way of organizing things, and will require people to get used to some things being different," Smith said.
A new session manager named Systemd will be donned in this new release which loads programs and services in parallel as the computer boots up; multi core processors will be put to good use here.
Fedora 15 also features dynamic firewall management, which offers the ability to make changes to the firewall without requiring a restart to the firewall software.
You can download the Fedora 15 beta version here. The final version is expected to be out toward the end of May.
