Fedora 7 features the latest versions of many popular open-source software programs, including GNOME 2.18, KDE 3.5.6, Xorg 7.3, and version 2.6.21 of the Linux kernel, with integrated KVM virtualization support. The inclusion of Xorg 7.3 is particularly exciting, because it brings extremely comprehensive support for display hot-plugging, a much-anticipated feature that will hopefully eliminate the need for the frustrating Xorg configuration tweaking typically required for multiple monitor configurations and projector support.
Fedora 7 also includes the NetworkManager utility for improved wireless networking, a new SELinux graphical configuration tool, support for Fast User Switching, a new Firewire stack, and support for the experimental Nouveau driver, an open-source alternative to NVIDIA's proprietary drivers that could eventually provide complete support for hardware-accelerated 3D rendering.http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070531-fedora-7-released.html
