Fedora 10 Alpha released
In an ongoing effort to prevent premature kitten death, the Fedora
Project is ecstatic to present the availability of Fedora 10 (Cambridge)
Alpha. Test now, make it better now, keep Cambridge on schedule, and
protect the kittens in the future.
The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community
to become involved with the testing of rawhide:
* Alpha represents a sanitized snapshot of rawhide, Fedora's
development branch, which undergoes rapid changes before
becoming the next major release.
* The Alpha should boot on the majority of systems, and provides:
* A look at what new features are to be included in the
next release
* A way to provide feedback and bug reports to help ensure
that the next release is as good as possible

* Wireless connection sharing
* Audio improvements to remove glitches

Fedora 10 Alpha released Posted Aug 7, 2008 6:28 UTC (Thu) by reptiler (guest, #53207) [Link] I'm running Rawhide in KVM and it looks pretty promising. I especially am looking forward to get my box running with KDE 4.1 when Fedora 10 is released. Also I am happy that the package-manager now has the ability again to mark packages for installation and install a whole bunch at once, instead of having to do it one by one. But luckily this also has been streamed into F9. I just wonder why Fedora still uses RPM 4...
