Fedora 11: Preview

The release of Fedora 11 is scheduled for May 26, but the beta is available now.
I suppose the review of the innovations most interesting in my opinion (under cat).

• Download in 20 seconds. Of course, this time is average and it will strongly depend on the performance of your processor and disk subsystem, but judging by the tables with tests, the load can take from 9 to 60 seconds.
• C ++ programmers will be pleased with Archer - a modification of GDB with improved support for debugging multi-threaded applications and the ability to write scripts in Python
• PackageKit integration with application programs. Allows applications to install the necessary codecs, programs and fonts
• User-friendly volume control, tighter integration with ALSA and PulseAudio. Now there will be no sliders for devices that you do not have
• ext4 is now the default file system when installing via Anaconda
• DNSsec - System of protection against DNS spoofing by checking the certificates of DNS servers
• DeviceKit - Computer Device Management System (+ frontend). For the user, basically simplify the work with disk devices
• Improved support for fingerprint readers. Now more similar devices are supported, and all dialog boxes are authenticated (not only in gdm / kdm)
• ABRT - Automatic Bag-Reporting System. Simplifies the process of sending a bug report for an ordinary user.
• ControlGroups - A system for sharing system resources between processes and groups of processes.
• GFS2 - Distributed File System
• Setting up input devices without rebooting the X server
• Possibility of minimal installation. The root file system with this installation option will take less than 500 megabytes. The list of packages included in the installation can be found here.
• The Fedora Electronic Lab is a 70% completed (as of March 1, 2009) project for the development and testing of (work emulation) iron. It promises to be very powerful and include everything from the development and testing of the circuit, the layout of the board and to the programming of microcontrollers.
• Well, as always update the versions of packages. Waiting for us: KDE 4.2, Gnome 2.26, Xfce 4.6, OpenOffice.org 3.1.0, Xserver 1.6, rpm 4.7

PS Forgive and correct if where with Rusik screwed up;)
