From Live CD's to Live USB's
Up until Fedora 12 release, the desktop Live image has been CD sized ones and this has been increasingly limiting the out of box experience and Fedora Desktop team is targeting 1 GB Live USB keys instead as of this release and the image would not fit into a CD anymore. Detailed documentation on making a Live USB is available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB. You can burn this image in a DVD as well. If your computer does not support booting from a USB or has no DVD driver you can do a network installation or use the regular installation CD set instead.
Shotwell replaces Gthumb as default photo organizer

- automatically organize events containing photos taken at the same time
- non-destructive editing allows altering photos without ruining originals or using disk space for each copy
- publish photos to Facebook and Flickr
- one-click auto-enhancement
- rotate, mirror, and crop photos
- reduce red-eye and adjust the exposure, saturation, tint, and temperature of your photos
- edit any photo, even if it's not imported to the Shotwell library
Gthumb continues to be maintained and available in the Fedora repository.
Gnote Enhancements
Gnote is a C++ port of Tomboy. It is the default desktop note-taking application for GNOME in Fedora and has a number of enhancements and bug fixes. Gnote now has a few new add-ins and follows the XDG directory specification from freedesktop.org and notes stored in previously versions will be automatically migrated from .gnote to .local/share/gnote in the user's home directory.
