Not to be outdone by the good folks over at Ubuntu and their recent release, the Fedora project has just gone live today with its latest update, Fedora 9.
Fedora makes a special effort to promote open source software, only including in its Linux distribution applications that meet that standard of openness and freedom. They're idealists, in other words. It so happens that they also have a pretty nice Linux distro.
According to the release notes, the bootloader, the small application that fires Linux up, has undergone some updates. This is one thing that has been holding some people (well, me, anyway) back from Linuxy goodness, as older distros don't play nice with some computer hardware. Here's hoping some of these updates continue to make Linux more friendly to the masses.
