Features

The name of the release is Fedora 7, unlike previous ones which featured 'Core' in their names (e.g. Fedora Core 6). The differences between Core and Extra have been eliminated entirely; there is only Fedora.
This release integrates Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) technology with Fedora's graphical virt-manager and command-line virsh tools. KVM provides a hardware accelerated virtualization solution, and users have a choice between KVM and Xen, along with Qemu, in this release.
This release of Fedora includes Liberation fonts, which are metric equivalents for several well-known proprietary fonts found throughout the Internet. These fonts give users better results when viewing and printing shared or downloaded documents.
Fedora now includes improved power management through implementation of dynamic ticks in the kernel.
Full Distribution on DVD (bootable LiveDVD), and include an installation program as well as a mode to perform rescue operations on your Fedora system in an emergency.

Summary: outdated
Comment: This is a good product, though Fedora is (surprisingly) in Version 10 now. At least it's free, so upgrading to each new version doesn't cost you an arm and a leg, like some others (Corel Draw comes to mind). The other side to it being free, though, is: Why buy a disc and pay for shipping, when you can download it for free, unless you have terribly slow Internet connection (dial-up, anyone?), or nothing to store a DVD's worth of file size on?
