The development of Fedora Linux is now reached version 19. It still in Beta version when this post is being written. I just downloaded the ISO file from the Fedora website and boot in on my VirtualBox as guest machine. The installation of Fedora 19 is improved and now its getting easier to install Fedora 19 on a computer. Even for a newbie can do installation without problem. All can be set to automatic including partitioning task. In few clicks, Fedora installation will finished.
Depend on your system performance, installing Fedora only takes 8 minutes on my VirtualBox. Its pretty amaze me.
Fedora 19 Desktop
The desktop is dull, very ugly in my opinion. Personally I hate the default wallpaper on this Beta version. Hope the developer will think about any better wallpaper, refreshing wallpaper would be better.
Bundled Apps
You will find many standard applications after installing Fedora 19 (Beta). You will have LibreOffice, Mozilla Firefox, Transmission, Rhytmbox and Cheese and some other standard apps. Nothing special.
In general, Fedora 19 promises the following technical updates: 3D modelling and printing are enabled through a variety of tools, including OpenSCAD, Skeinforge, SFACT, Printrun, and RepetierHost; OpenShift Origin; Ruby 2.0.0; MariaDB, a community-developed fork of MySQL; Federated VoIP; Developer's Assistant; Syslinux optional boot tool integration; systemd Resource Control; GNOME 3.8, KDE 4.10, MATE 1.6.
