Fedora 9 is stepping forward with their first Beta, and it looks like it has quite a few quality enhancements that both GNOME and KDE users alike will appreciate. Being a KDE fan myself I’m extremely happy to see that the Fedora team has taken the time to integrate the new KDE 4.0 into the operating system. And it apparently works so well that they decided to make 4.0 the default for anyone using the KDE desktop. I could be wrong, but I believe Fedora is the first to make KDE 4.0 the default for that type of desktop.

There has been a lot of work going on that will make this an incredible release, and you’ll even see the improvements during the installation. Now you’ll be able to resize ext2, ext3, and NTFS partitions during the installation process making it easier to install Fedora on a drive that isn’t empty.

That’s not all you’ll find in Fedora 9 either. Here are some of the other features you’ll find in Fedora 9 Beta:

• GNOME 2.22
• Helpful world time clock
• Better file system performance
• Security improvements
• Power management at the login screen
• The ability to dynamically configure displays
• Better Bluetooth integration
• Improved podcast support
• And many other enhancements
• KDE 4.0.2, which includes a brand new desktop and panel with many new concepts:
• Integrated desktop search
• Brand new visual style called Oxygen
• New multimedia API called Phonon
• New hardware integration framework called Solid
• Firefox 3 Beta 5
• Native look and feel
• Desktop integration
• The new Places that replaces bookmarks
• Reworked address bar
• NetworkManager Improvements
• Ad-hoc support, so that you can easily form a network with any near-by wireless devices
• Support for mobile broadband cards (GSM/CDMA) through PPP
• System-wide network configuration through NetworkManager with PolicyKit
• Support for creating and installing to encrypted filesystems

My download of Fedora 9 Beta is still in the process of finishing, but for those of you who decide to give it a whirl post your thoughts in the comments below.

Do you think Microsoft hates Mac’s? Well, I’m sure they do except when it comes to running Microsoft software. They made Microsoft Office for a Mac because they saw an open opportunity to make more money.

One thing that I wasn’t aware of until browsing Microsoft’s Mac software page was that they have a Remote Desktop Connection client available for Mac users to download. This will enable them to connect to another Windows computer located at a remote location. Duh!

That sounds like it was nice of them and it is, but I’m sure they had other motives for doing it. Who knows…maybe they were really doing it out of the kindness of their hearts. However, with Boot Camp now available there may not be as large of a need for Mac users to remotely connect to a Windows machine when they can just run it on their own computer.
