Posted by Michael Larabel on January 25, 2008

The first Fedora 9 development release isn't even out yet (Fedora 9 release schedule), but the codename for this upcoming Red Hat release has been announced. Fedora 9 will be called Sulphur, as was announced on the Fedora list. The codename was voted for by Fedora contributors, with other leading contenders being Sulphur, Bathysphere, Chupacabra, and even Mayonnaise. Sulphur had won by just eight votes. The Fedora 9 Alpha release is expected for next Thursday (January 31) while the final release of Fedora 9 "Sulphur" is tentatively planned for April 29, 2008.
