[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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!
