I remembered Fedora 10 was released in the nighth of Nov. 25th, 2008 at 22:00 pm Beijing Time, as soon as it’s available for download, my-guides.net published it’s great tutorial Fedora 10 Installation Guide, which I learned a lot from its Fedora 9 Installation Guide when I tried Fedora (Fedora 9, this is the first Linux distro I tried and installed in my entire hard disk) for the 1st time, it’s really helpful for a Linux and Fedora newbie. I didn’t sleep all the night but translated it into Chinese, to do my best to help others who wants to try the latest Fedora distro. Although I keeped translating this great guide for a whole night, but only finished its first 8 chapters, with 2 Fedora fans’ help the second day, we finally submited to my-guides.net a Chinese version.

It’s been coming along for so long a time, but today RPM Fusion has officially launched as the premiere third-party RPM repository for Fedora users. RPM Fusion is meraged fromDribble, Livna and FreshRPMs repositories to simplify end-user experience by grouping as much add-on software as possible in a single location. RPM Fusion is a massive third-party repository with huge number of RPM packages that can’t ship with Fedora or RHEL due to legal restrictions and/or the packages don’t comply with free software licenses.

Mr. Jesse Keating announced the release of Fedora 10 Snapshot 3 last day. This is the final snapshot before Fedora 10 final devel freeze and subsequent preview release.  On the torrent site you’ll find install images and live images for testing.  http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/

The i686 Live is just over 700M in size, so you /may/ have trouble burning it if your media is very strict about it’s size.

Of important note, these images do have a bug in them, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468360 where some realtek network cards will not initialize properly.  This bug has been fixed in today’s rawhide, which was too late for the snapshot.  If you use the snapshot and fail to have networking, you’ll need to update the kernel.
