What’s the difference between a cutting-edge and a bleeding-edge product? A cutting-edge product is the newest of the new and it works. A bleeding-edge product is the newest of the new and it ‘sort of’ works. You’ll end up making a bloody mess of yourself with most bleeding-edge programs. Fedora 10, however, is a true cutting-edge Linux distribution.
Paul Frields, Red Hat’s Fedora project leader, told me that this ‘decade’ release of Fedora was the best ever without any significant bugs. Yeah. I’ve heard that before.
You know what though? Based on my early work with Fedora 10, Frields’ right. This is one clean, mean cutting-edge Linux distribution.
