Version 8 of the Fedora linux distribution is available, and a notable feature is the possibility to completely re-brand the distribution, such that a company or individual could base its own distribution on Fedora, without any visible reference to Fedora itself.

Other notable features is the tickless kernel (following Ubuntu's steps) and much better support for laptops.

EPEL, Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux, is available to Red Hat Enterprise Linux users. To quote the documentation, it "was started because many Fedora contributors wanted to use the Fedora packages they maintain on Red Hat Enterprise Linux". If you need a package not supported by RHEL, chances are that you'll now be able to find it in the EPEL repository.
