Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" has been released

Fedora 18, the latest stable version of the Red Hat-sponsored community distribution of Linux, has finally arrived: "The Fedora project is incredibly delighted to announce the release of Fedora 18. What's new? The user interface for Fedora's installation software, Anaconda, has been completely re-written from the ground up. Making its debut in Fedora 18, the new UI introduces major improvements to the installation experience. It uses a hub-and-spoke model that makes installation easier for new users, offering them concise explanations about their choices. Advanced users and system administrators are of course still able to take advantage of more complex options. The general look and feel of the installation experience has been vastly upgraded, providing modern, clean, and comprehensible visuals during the process."


Fedora project is a community based open source and free Linux operating system and considered to be third most popular distribution and continues to provide innovative features to users. This new release included several new features such Kernel 3.6, GNOME 3.6, KDE 4.9, Xfce 4.10, LXDE, Python 3.3, Ruby on Rails 3.0 and much more. The default desktop version of Fedora 18 is GNOME 3.6, but you can also download KDE, Xfce or LXDE desktop environments, even you can also download and install Cinnamon and MATE desktops too from the Fedora’s yum package manager tool.
