>The headline feature for Fedora 28 Server is the inclusion of the new Modular repository. This lets you select between different versions of software like NodeJS or Django, so you can chose the stack you need for your software. Interested? Check out the documentation for using modules [LINK BELOW]. Also of note: 64-bit ARM (Aarch64) is now a primary architecture for Fedora Server.

Modular repos is cool. I love this idea. Especially useful if you work with node.js....as it moves so fast.

For those interested in Node.js, Fedora 28 currently ships with 6.x, 8.x and 9.x versions available and I am building 10.0 at this very moment. It should be available in the updates-testing repositories by tomorrow.

This is great news! This is one thing that eats at me when I work on most distros not being able to just run the latest of a language. At least Rust has rustup but I wish rustup was an official package on my distro at the very least?

It's certainly pretty cool to have this support built into the distribution. I think we will have to wait and see how timely updates are in general. Of course, it's all volunteer-based so help is welcome.

We've been using NodeSource's RPM packages with good results.
