Fedora 10 was officially released a year ago, on November 25th, 2008. It was dubbed Cambridge and it offered the latest stable version of GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.1 desktop environments, faster boot experience (powered by Plymouth), better printing, better webcam support, improved wireless network connection sharing, better software maintenance and update (powered by PackageKit and RPM 4.6), virtualization storage, a new security tool for IDS (Intrusion Detection System) called SecTool and a brand new theme called Solar. Fedora 10 was also the first release to bring the lightweight LXDE desktop environment.

Today, we are sorry to announce the end of life for Fedora 10 (Cambridge) on December 17th, 2009. This means that, starting two days ago, users of Fedora 10 will no longer receive security/critical fixes and software updates. Therefore, all Fedora 10 users are urged to upgrade to the most recent version, Fedora 12, as soon as possible.

"As planned, last update pushes to Fedora 10 were made in advance of this date, to accommodate the move of some Fedora infrastructure. Fedora 11 will continue to receive updates until approximately one month after the release of Fedora 13." - was stated in the release announcement.

What is Fedora?

The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open-source project.

It's built by a worldwide community (the Fedora Project), which grants access to anyone wishing to further advance the development of open-source software.
