I would like to share this news with you guys..

The Fedora Project announced the beta release of Fedora 20, code-named “Heisenbug.” A community-produced, free, Linux-based operating system, Fedora 20 features some of the latest and best of what the open source world has to offer.

From cloud and virt point of view, this release includes:

OS Installer Support for LVM Thin Provisioning – With the introduction of thin provisioning via Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in the Linux kernel, Fedora 20 can now support the configuration of thin clients during OS installation.

VM Snapshot UI with virt-manager – While QEMU and libvirt are fully capable of performing safe virtual machine (VM) snapshots/checkpoints, a simple, discoverable UI did not exist previously. This feature adds a UI to virt-manager, simplifying the VM process.

Secondly, selinux is celebrating its 10th year with an awesome how-to guide for SELinux policy enforcement ..
