Fedora Core A week ago, the Fedora Project released Fedora 9 into the world. Fedora 9 comes with GNOME 2.22, KDE 4.0.3, Xfce 4.2.2, PackageKit, Firefox 3.0 beta 5, a 2.6.25-based Linux kernel, and much more. As always, the intertubes have been flooded with reviews, so we figured we would summarise a few of them.

It does not matter who's fault it is, or even if it was the right choice (which it probably was - with the downside of "bad marketing" done by those who want nVidia proprietary drivers on day 1).

For most people this is a non-issue. For those who are being held back, give it a few weeks and nVidia will catch up. You do not need to upgrade on day 1. That is sometimes the price of using closed source software.

The Fedora community made the right choice for Fedora.

If nVidia drivers are so important that they are needed on day 1, try pressuring them into releasing specs (like AMD) or code (like Intel).
