Fedora 11 Released, but goofy installer lets it down


Fedora 11 'Lion Logo'Our friends over at ArsTechnica this week wrote a short review on the recent release of Fedora 11, the Red Hat derived free Linux distribution. To summarise their review very quickly, they felt that the distribution, when you actually got into it, was pretty nice, but was badly let down by an immature, buggy installer and seemed to be rushed to release.

From ULNG's perspective, it feels like Fedora have been trying to play catchup recently with Ubuntu's rapid, reliable six month release schedule. Whilst we applaud the Fedora Project for trying to get releases out quickly, surely the emphasis should be on creating a stable platform, especially when dealing with something so crucial as the installer? I'd rather have a stable release than a six-monthly one any day.
