The Fedora Project today will take the wraps off the open development Fedora 10 release, six months and twelve days since Fedora 9 came on the scene and more or less in sync with the six month development cycle that the project has established for the code base that eventually becomes Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

According to Paul Frields, Fedora's project leader, the bits comprising Fedora 10, code-named "Cambridge," will be distributed starting at 10am Eastern time today. And while the software has lots of nips and tucks, and lots more people contributing to the project than even a year ago, the release will probably be seen as incremental by most users.


These are bleeding edge users, by the way, who like that sort of thing and don't mind that they are not going to be able to get tech support from mother Red Hat when they use the freebie edition of the company's sponsored Linux distro. (Technically, Red Hat doesn't control the Fedora Project, and technically, Fedora is its own thing, distinct from RHEL). In any event, incremental is always better than revolutionary.
