Fedora 18 Feature List
Fedora 18 Preliminary Notes:

NewInstallerUI, Anaconda Rework for Fedora 18, Secure Boot, Draft version info

Upgrade Fedora 17 to Fedora 18

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E_Fedora_18

Very Early to try this- It will most likly fail

Fedora OLPC

The Fedora OLPC SIG, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using yum install sugar-*

Here's a video of the process http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo

Chris Ball suggests: as root, run: yum -y groupinstall "Sugar Desktop Environment"

The command to run Sugar is as root, otherwise you may get this behavior.

Launch sugar from a terminal or console session: sugar-emulator
