NetworkWorld 9.28.10 Fedora 14 beta released today, aimed as a tablet operating system Fedora 14 will be officially available in November. Today's new beta supports MeeGo and desktop virtualization By Julie Bort The much anticipated beta of Fedora 14 was released today, with the final code to be ready in November. It included a few features that may surprise you. For one, it lets users opt for a MeeGo look and feel. For another, it supports Red Hat's new desktop virtualization technology. Taken together, it seems as if Fedora is making itself more useful for the rising tablet market. Fedora 14, nicknamed "Laughlin," will be the first Red Hat supported distribution to let users choose MeeGo <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/MeeGo_1.0> as their desktop. MeeGo is a Linux desktop architecture for mobile devices, netbooks, embedded Linux devices (such as In Vehicle Infotainment systems). It is based in the GNOME mobile platform but has been beefed up with additional technologies (Clutter, GUPnP and libsocialweb). Fedora 14 will include the MeeGo Netbook UX specifically for netbook users as a "user environment that sits of top of Fedora and associated MeeGo core services. The netbook user interface and user interaction model for the target devices then is on top of that. ... This expands on the existing support we've had for Moblin in Fedora 12 and 13.
