A Peek at DeviceKit in Fedora 11 and Beyond

In my travels, I discovered David Zeuthen's informative peek at DeviceKit (and its use with and in lieu of HAL) in the upcoming release of Fedora 11.

Zeuthen says that while the new storage device handling stack is implemented in Fedora's GNOME 2.26 desktop configuration, it should be appearing in its entirety in the upstream GNOME 2.28 release. The DeviceKit daemon modernizes and adds to many of the features and functions of the tried and true HAL daemon.



History (and Releases) Are Cyclical: This is Fedora 11!

I've noticed, as I get older, time seems to go exponentially faster. Unfortunately, this meant high school lasted an eternity, and I'm burning through my thirties at warp speed. Some events make me more aware of this than others -- it seems like it was only last week that Fedora 10 made its first mark upon the world.

But no, another release cycle has nearly come full circle, and today the Fedora Project announced the Preview Release of Fedora 11 (codenamed Leonidas). This preview will be followed by a release candidate (scheduled for a May 12 appearance), with the final version hitting the streets on May 26.

So what new features can we expect to see in Fedora 11?



Text browser on Red Hat

I am looking to using a text browser (don't ask!) to analyze some sites and for that, I am looking to use a browser that can strip out all the flashy markup, and show me the 'raw' site. I am trying to set up Lynx on my Fedora box to do the same, but currently only have CLI access. What's the easiest way to do this?
