Re: Fedora with Universal Binaries?

Also a single rescue system for both 64bit and 32bit machines would be nice.

Does the dereference fix in kernel-2.6.30.9-96.fc11 address the issue raised here or have I got this wrong?

I have Crossover installed and not wine, and just checked: [m...@home1 ~]$ cat /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr 65536 This is an f11 box. I also set the boolean by doing # setsebool -P allow_unconfined_mmap_low 1 Now I have lost track whether this means I am vulnerable or not? I understand that installing wine would set mmap_min_addr to zero and make the machine vulnerable but can someone clarify so that I no longer confused?

Re: Fedora 12 now in RC freeze
We are reaching a *very* deep freeze now as we try and get a final release candidate for Fedora 12. Bodhi is now open for submitting F-12 updates, and we hope to have update repositories for testing later this weekend. If you have critical blocking issues, you can continue to file tag requests with 'make tag-request', and they will be considered. For the majority of updates, though, please use bodhi. Thanks, Fedora release engineering Fedora 12 looks very well. But it seems that some components of GNOME has been removed or disappeared. For example, system-config-selinux disappears. I can not find it in the retired packages list. Is it merged into another package? I read some documents about gnome-2.28 on Fedora wiki. There should be a tab named as Interface tab and enable in the System-Preferences-Appearance. As a matter of fact. It is used to enable the icons for the buttons. However, no one find out it. Another things, I still consider the 'Main Menu' preference dialog should be reserved. I believe that many guys will customize their Gnome menu. As so many users will use it, Why remove alacarte by default? 'Show Desktop' applet in the gnome panel is the same with 'Main Menu'. I request to add them by default.

If they used Fedora 12 Beta are these number comparable with real Fedora 12 performance numbers when Fedora 12 ships? Aren't there some debugging features turned on in Rawhide (Fedora 12 beta) kernel? Are other packages in Fedora 12 also suffering from some speed penalty? Still Fedora 12 Beta ate Ubuntu for breakfast :) Fedora 12 performed on most test better than Ubuntu, nice work guys/ galls :) There's no way to know what they tested. It was not an RC, we did not have an RC until about 10 minutes ago. Yesterday's full compose was a TC (test compose). What they tested was one of the nightlies from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ , but we can't tell which because they didn't give a date. The NVIDIA driver benchmark is just weird, but not something we'd care much about anyway.
