Fedora 16 Linux coming soon
Fedora 16 linux will be released shortly and we have at least 9 machines that will need the upgrade, scheduled for the next week or two, depending on how things go.
As usual, we start with the non-critical systems and work our way up to the critical ones.
I don’t see a lot of new features that mean anything to me, other than using kernel 3.x and maybe a newer gnome shell.
Updated 2011 Nov 09: Downloaded the live cd and the install dvd and did an upgrade of one system yesterday. Two more servers done this morning without any issues. There are around 100+ more updates after the reboot, from packages upgraded during the release freeze of the Fedora16 package itself.
It went very well. Nice new look. Plugged in a webcam and it worked right away. Not sure if the audio is working yet.
