Seeing the removal of syslogd, getting more than a bit grumpy here at the continuing direction Redhat is dragging the Linux world. Journald may serve the basic user well, it can't do half the stuff a good syslogd configuration can do; it can't pipe messages to other processes, it can't send messages to remote servers, it can't send messages to multiple places. If redhat had put in services to let journald do the things syslogd's been able to do since forever, I'd be more ok with its direction, but as it stands, it's proprietary in all but name.
With Gnome 3.10. Nice. Even nicer with the Phosphene theme: <a href="http://hdni.github.io/rice/assets/phosphene_preview.png" rel="nofollow">http://hdni.github.io/rice/assets/phosphene_preview.png</a> - <a href="https://github.com/hdni/Phosphene" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hdni/Phosphene</a>
Ruby Devs,
Take note, Fedora 20 has ruby 2 & rails 4 available. to get started with rails, all you need to do is:<p><pre><code> yum install rubygem-rails
</code></pre>
and Bam, it will install latest ruby, rails & other dependencies. That's not all, they have more than 2thousand ruby related packages(all recent versions).<p>Fedora seems to have one of best ruby support. Way to go!<p><a href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/ruby" rel="nofollow">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/s/ruby</a>
''syslog is no longer included in default installations. journald logging serves most use cases as well as, or better than, syslogd.''<p>I think it has lots in common with this:<p>"Fedora 20 includes the WildFly 8 Application Server, formerly known as the JBoss Application Server, a very popular Java EE platform. WildFly is a very fast, modular and lightweight server."<p>keep producing more and more bloatware, without any other reasons than "because we have done it".<p>I think that blindly allowing freedesktop guys to mess up all the traditional Unix startup and now logging tools with some MS-inspired crap for a very questionable reasons is quite a step back.<p>It is also an example of an over-engineering bias (which comes from OO-only approach) - building up an unnecessary complexity. syslog and shell script based startup procedure are good-enough (and still good enough for sane systems such as BSDs or Plan9), while those who need a specialized logging (or startup) service could create it for themselves, as so many do.<p>Changing reasonable defaults just because someone is cocksure that we need more xxxxctl and xxxxx-bridge instead of plain old text-files looks like ignorant over-confidence. Those who cannot live without journald could install it manually, why to cause a headache to the rest of us.<p>I do remember that commercial variant of Suse Linux have tried "an innovative approach" to what a Linux server is. They introduced a set of some in-house made utilities (inspired by Netware I suppose) with non-intuitive logic and millions of command line options no one knows (which cannot be googled). Why, it is a way to success, now you could teach courses, do certification, issue meaningless titles, etc. Thank god its dead. ESX servers, btw, were (or still are) even bigger mess.<p>I doubt that Fedora is going this way, but the signs are bad.)
Just for the record:<p>- I've been using Fedora (VM, test, production server) since release 4 or 5.
- I have a VM that has been updated without full reinstall since release 11. It will be destroyed soon, as I'm reinstalling the host.
- I've been using Fedora as my main desktop since Fedora 16.<p>My experience varies, depending on the sh*t they decide to push (like Gnome 3 or systemd). It takes time so that things get stable (or I get more used to them).<p>As a full stack developer, I almost never use distro packages like gems or python libs or java libs. Even tools like Eclipse I prefer to install them separated.<p>Overall, I'm satisfied.
"Syslog removed from default installation" and "Users accustomed to checking /var/log/messages for system logs should instead use journalctl."<p>I'm sure I'm going to forget about that... I can't wait for the first WTF :)
Also note, this is the first Distro (that I know of) that is resolution-independent out of the box -- thanks to Gnome 3.10.<p>Retina and retina-like users rejoice!

Quick question:<p>Anyone has succeeded dual botting Fedora 20 with Windows 8.1 in a UEFI system with secure boot?<p>When I tried the beta it made Windows 8.1 unbootable.

Better update, I am behind. I run Fedora on my powerpc machine (Mac Pro) as it is the only distro (well and RH itself) with decent ppc64 support, as IBM pays Redhat still.
While on the topic, does any one have a good strategy for building the gstreamer-bad/ugly plugins on Fedora? I don't like the rpmfusion repository as it always seems to mess up the system sooner or later.
