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.

OpenSuse 10.3 is a release that will be supported for 2 years with security ando other significant updates. It features KDE 3.5.7, GNOME 2.20, Xfce 4.4.1, OpenOffice 2.3, a one-click install technology and more. Virtualisation is also present, with Xen, QEmu, VirtualBox, KVM as well as paravirt-ops and vmi, both usable with VMWare. The package management has been also improved, and boot-time shortened. It is now available for download.

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.
