Everyday Nerd

Fedora 9 was just released, and is looking very nice!  I ran across this nice little utility that will take a Fedora 9 Live CD and put it on a 1GB or larger USB drive, making it bootable!  Just stick you USB drive in your Windows computer, select how much space you want to allocate to you document space (I put 100MB on a 1GB stick) and it does the rest!  Works like a charm!

The latest from the one of the best Linux distro’s available has been released this morning.  All the mirrors are slow (Lots of people dl the iso) but the torrents are much faster.

Go get it here:  Fedora

Update:  LifeHacker has a good blurb about Fedora Core 8:

Fedora 8, the newest version of Red Hat’s publicly-released Linux distribution, is available for download as a live or install CD or DVD in both the GNOME and KDE desktop flavors. New in this release, code-named "Werewolf," are a Codec Buddy feature that helps users find and install support for MP3s and other media formats, improvements to laptop compatability—key function, power management and suspend modes in particular—better sound control through the PulseAudio server and other improvements. Fedora 8 is a free download and runs on Intel, AMD or PowerPC-based systems.
