Fedora 16 (Verne) Enlarge picture - Fedora 16 (Verne)
Fedora 16, dubbed Verne, has been released earlier today, as expected by all its fans on November 8th, bringing lots of cool stuff and new artwork.

Therefore, we thought it will be a very good idea to take both KDE and GNOME Live CDs for a spin and make a few screenshots, which can be viewed at the end of the article.

As mentioned in our previous article, Fedora 16 comes packed with lots of bleeding-edge Linux technologies like GNOME 3.2, KDE Plasma Workspace 4.7 or Linux kernel 3.1.

Fedora 16 (Verne) is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, distributed as an Installable DVD and Live CDs with GNOME and KDE.

Among other features brought by the new Fedora 16 operating system, we can mention GRUB2, new artwork (including a revamped boot splash screen), SELinux improvements, 1000 System accounts, GNOME Input integration, USB Network Redirection, and more.

Looks pretty boring.

I like boring. The desktops of people doing actual work on PCs are exactly that. An editor, many browser windows, a debugger, a few ssh sessions ...

What is missing are screen shots of an actual work desktops. Most of these photo galleries focus on multimedia and other supposedly flashy applications. Reality is a bit different. I would have a gmail window, a few browser and file manager instances, a text editor, a debugger, a couple of terminal windows and would be cutting and pasting among them. With Gnome 2 I would also have 3-4 workspaces with grouping the applications. Multi window, multi-processing is the reason users go for Linux. Can Gnome 3 do this comfortably? Ubuntu's Unity, for instance, can't.
