Fedora 12 Alpha to bring many Linux desktop improvements (Phoronix)

[Posted August 20, 2009 by cook]

Phoronix has posted a short review of Fedora 12 Alpha. "Like all Fedora releases, Fedora 12 will contain a number of new (mostly updated) upstream packages from KDE 4.3 to GNOME 2.28 on the desktop to the Linux 2.6.31 kernel underneath. Fedora 12 will also be shipping with all of the latest X bits, which by the time of its release come in November, hopefully will mean an official X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7 build, but for the Fedora 12 Alpha there are already development snapshots in place of the major components."

It seems the new releases come at an incredible speed. Will there be a stabilization period? I am still using FC10 because FC11 does not have all the packages I need, but I am planning to test FC12 on a separate disk to see how the new kernel behaves.
