All platforms: The final release of Fedora's 12th edition, code-named Constantine, is available for download. Want much better Bluetooth, the latest network and chat apps, and CPU and graphics efficiencies? Grab a live CD or USB image and give it a go.
The full list of changes, upgrades, fixes, and new apps is similar to what we saw in the beta, but if you need more specifics, Fedora's got a whole lot of custom-formatted documentation.
Are you a Fedora fan smitten with the new release? Irked that something vital is still left out? Tell us your take on the Linux distro in the comments. Fedora 12 is a free download, works on Intel and Power PC-based systems. Thanks Tamar!
Windows only: Freeware application Start Killer hides the Start menu button, freeing up extra space on your Windows taskbar. You can still access the Start menu by hitting the Windows key, but Start Killer frees up a good chunk of taskbar real estate. You can optionally disable the Start menu altogether if you wanted to deny users access to it. Start Killer only does one thing, but there's nothing we like better than a simple tool that does exactly what it says. If you're looking for a similar tool for Vista (whose Start button is much smaller), our tipster sent us this AutoHotkey script that may do the trick.
