Batten down the hatches, Fedora 8 Test 2 spotted just over the port side bow! A veritable "sea" of choices await you in this release. First up is the "Fedora" installable 'choose your own adventure' style set of isos and trees for i386, x86_64, and ppc(64). Next up we have a variety of Live images: * Fedora Live (i686, x86_64, ppc) - A good general use Desktop live image. i686 even fits on a CD! * Fedora KDE Live (i686, x86_64) - A Desktop based on the KDE software suite. i686 even fits on a CD! * Fedora Developer Live (i686) - A Live image designed for software developers. * Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) Live (i686) - A live image designed for engineers working on electronics. Fits on a CD! Remember that these Live images can be used on USB meida via the 'livecd-iso-to-disk' utility available in the livecd-tools package. Test 2 is for "beta" users. This is the time where we have more features in a "testable" state where the more people using them and the more feedback we get the better. So please help us make Fedora 8 as good as we can!
