I'm looking forward to checking it out too! There will be three versions.

We are about to release Fedora 21 in three different products (Workstation, Cloud, Server) that will make possible to offer a better user experience in each one of these user groups. link

An interesting new approach by the Fedora team. Guess we will see how it works out but it seems like a pretty good idea to me. I don't want any "Cloud" junk cluttering up my workstation. :hehe

I have just moved to Fedora as it was the only Ubuntu 14.04 based distro I could find that fixed the underlying bleutooth connectivity problems in Ubuntu that crashed my music centre PC. It will be interesting to see Fedora 21 in action.

I might put it on my virtual and see if I like using GIMP there. So maybe I will be looking for some help and suggestions when installing

I knew Molly would be excited about it

I also use Fedora for my Media Center and my DAW. One correction; Fedora is not Ubuntu based. Fedora is the community version of Red Hat Linux.

Thank you GnuTux - my error; I was told by somebody to try Fedora to overcome my bluetooth problems present in each of Linux Mint, Pinguy and Bodhi Linux. That was a week ago and it worked first time. I ASSUMED it was a similar Ubuntu based distro - 'WRONG!' so I apologise to Red Hat and Fedora for making such a blind assumption.

P.S. Just looked at your referred Linux History diagram ... wow thats very impressive. Thanks again for your observation.

Wonder how long it would take to test out all those versions? :mrgreen:

On a side note, looks like "yum" will be replaced in Fedora 22. I've always thought yum was a great package manager. I hope DNF will be as stable and reliable as yum has been.
