It’s been a month or so since the release of Fedora 7. I have installed it and run it daily since then. It’s faster, smoother, and flat out the best linux distribution out there. In the past year I have installed and run numerous linux releases and this is hands down the best, in my opinion. Here are a few reviews from around the interweb:

The following is my top 5 list of linux distros:

1. Fedora 7
2. Red Hat 5
3. Suse 10
4. Debian 4
5. Ubuntu 7.04

During my honeymoon I read The Cathedral and the Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revolutionary by Eric S. Raymond. This is an incredible book. If you love open source software, this is the book for you. It has great stories about the open source movement, linux, Mozilla, hackers, and more. I would consider this a must read for everyone who works in the computer industry. Everyone from code monkeys, to managers, to CIOs to CEOs, should read this book.
