The Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Project today officially released the Fedora 13 Linux distribution, codenamed "Goddard," with improvements aimed at both new and experienced Linux users.
The new Fedora 13 release comes six months after Fedora 12's debut and continues to enhance the Linux operating system experience for its users. Fedora 13 includes improved virtualization, along with other developer, desktop and server improvements.
"We have a number of features designed to make Fedora a more pleasant release for everyone that uses it, not just the super hackers among us, but also the people that are just discovering open source for the first time, and everyone in between," Fedora Project Leader Paul Frields told InternetNews.com.
In particular, Frields cited hardware enablements as a "consistent theme" in the Fedora 13 release. Chief among those include improved free video, printer, scanner and camera drivers and management features. Frields also noted that the new color management feature in Fedora 13 provides a true-color workflow for scanning, printing and display.

"All the improvements are grouped around making hardware work better for people with a minimum of fuss," he said.
Fedora 13 also packs in improvements for a group that Frields referred to as "downstream" developers.
"When we say 'upstream' in the open source world, the people we think of are those that are building open source software that distributions like Fedora then download and package as part of a whole operating system," Frields said. "Downstream developers are people that are building solutions that may not have anything to do with Fedora or Linux, but who are very important to the future of free software."
The downstream-focused improvements in Fedora 13 includes enhancements to how the Linux distribution handles Python development, with new support for the open source language intended to make Python debugging easier for developers.

Finally Fedora detects my resolution correctly. Very nice. The initial lack of detecting right resolution (Fedora was the only distro which did that) put me off Fedora for so long now. Nice work by Fedora developers.

downloaded and installed, however could not configure bsnl bb:cry:, how to do that........... please guide me in simple steps.

Connect your router via ethernet & open your browser configuration page under your browser. Now check whether all settings are configured properly.

Damn it.. X.Org got updated to 1.8 and the Catalyst drivers aren't working with it now.. it is irritating.. seems like Fedora vs ATI is going on ...

You mean to say that you're connecting to Internet via a dial-up modem?? If yes then use GNOME PPP or KPPP

Azaad: Do you dial to connect or just open browser and start browsing? If former, then you have to use and configure a dialer where you enter your username and password. If latter then, there is nothing to configure as its settings are already in the modem. The former is called the bridged mode while the latter is called "Always On mode/pppoe".
 
^ yep trying for bridge mode...................
and how to retrieve back the panel......I deleted it and could not get back as before with adding panel..................am kde user.

For the bridge mode, pppoe-conf is the command if I correctly remember.. you can try using that.. then after that, try pon dslprovider..

^+1.. Fedora has openly shown its love towards GNOME.. I like GNOME more than KDE.. but it is a matter of taste.. the only apps of KDE that i really like are Amarok & K3B.. nothing else..

Me Loves GNOME :p
 
fedora from starting was a gnome supporter and supported its development and just packs kde and other desktops with the distribution..........
however in gnome I dont like 2 panels one top and other bottom, unnecessarily consumes screen space-------no idea of present not used linux for more than 2 yrs and gnome almost 5 yrs........... and its personal taste as you say..........
