These freely-distributable formats are not encumbered by patent or license restrictions. They provide powerful and flexible alternatives to more popular, restricted formats. The Fedora Project encourages the use of open source formats in place of restricted ones.

The patent holders have not provided the necessary licenses, and the code needed to decrypt CSS-encrypted discs may violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a copyright law of the United States.

This plugin enables MP3 support in applications that use the GStreamer framework as a backend.

The previous backend tool was <programlisting format="linespecific">libdhcp</programlisting> (which was a replacement for <programlisting format="linespecific">libpump</programlisting>). Anaconda uses NetworkManager by communicating with it via D-Bus during installation. The move to NetworkManager in Anaconda is still ongoing and some things are not yet 100% functional, but the bulk of existing functionality has been retained. NetworkManager is enabled by default on newly installed systems, so moving to NetworkManager in Anaconda allows the installer to use the same network management tool that the final system uses. The move to NetworkManager brings some changes, most notably the removal of the network interface configuration screen in Anaconda. You are no lon ger asked to verify the network settings during installation. The screen now simply prompts for the hostname. The settings used during installation are written to the system.</para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist><itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> When using the <programlisting format="linespecific">netinst.iso</programlisting> to boot the installer, Anaconda defaults to using the Fedora mirrorlist URL as the installation source.

The previous backend tool was <programlisting format="linespecific">libdhcp</programlisting> (which was a replacement for <programlisting format="linespecific">libpump</programlisting>). Anaconda uses NetworkManager by communicating with it via D-Bus during installation. The move to NetworkManager in Anaconda is still ongoing and some things are not yet 100% functional, but the bulk of existing functionality has been retained. NetworkManager is enabled by default on newly installed systems, so moving to NetworkManager in Anaconda allows the installer to use the same network management tool that the final system uses. The move to NetworkManager brings some changes, most notably the removal of the network interface configuration screen in Anaconda. You are no lon ger asked to verify the network settings during installation. The screen now simply prompts for the hostname.

Cobbler uses a helper program, <programlisting format="linespecific">koan</programlisting>, for reinstallation and virtualization support. </para><para>For further details refer to:</para> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> - <ulink url="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtRemoteInstall"&... - </para> - </listitem><listitem> - <para> - <ulink url="http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/page/LibvirtDiscovery"&g... -- virt-manager Discovery</para> - </listitem><listitem> - <para> - <ulink url="http://avahi.org/">http://avahi.org/</ulink> - </para> - </listitem><listitem> - <para> - <ulink url="http://fedorahosted.org/cobbler">http://fedorahosted.or... - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - </section><section id=""> - <title>Other Improvements </title> - <para>Fedora also includes the following virtualization improvements:</para> - <para /> - <itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> Utilities in the new <programlisting format="linespecific">virt-mem</programlisting> package provide access to process tables, interface information, dmesg, and uname of QEmu and KVM guests from the host system. <ulink url="http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-mem/">http://et.redha... - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist><para> - <para> - <para> - <inlinemediaobject> - <imageobject> - <imagedata contentwidth="35px" fileref="http://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/c/cc/Note.png" scalefit="1" width="35px" /> - </imageobject><caption> - <para /> - </caption> - </inlinemediaobject> - </para><para> - <emphasis> - <programlisting format="linespecific">virt-mem</programlisting> is experimental. </emphasis><literallayout> -</literallayout>Only 32 bit guests are supported at this time.</para> - </para> - </para><itemizedlist> - <listitem> - <para> The new <programlisting format="linespecific">virt-df</programlisting> tool provides information on the disk usage of guests from the host system. <ulink url="http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-df">http://et.redhat.... - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist><para /> - <section id=""> - <title>libvirt Updated to 0.4.6 </title> - <para>The <programlisting format="linespecific">libvirt</programlisting> package provides an API and tools to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes).
