The Fedora 14 beta went live today and with it comes several new features. Improved virtualization support comes in the form of Spice, a tool designed to make virtualization easier and more user-friendly. Spice does this by accelerating 2D graphics, supporting hardware cursors and client-side mouse pointers, supporting audio playback and recording, and detecting video with Mjpeg streaming. What's more, Spice has a library of X Windows and Windows XP, Windows Live, and Windows 7 drivers. The program also supports encrypted connections.
Fedora 14 is based on the Linux Kernel 2.6.35, which provides direct I/O support for btrfs, graphic stacks improvements, the ability to spread incoming network loads across CPUs.
