I've been running the alpha, and it works great for me. Here are some Fedora 18 notes, including where I ended up using gnome-tweak-tool.

I tried the alpha and it looked like they removed all options to setup mdadm (softraid) from the install program?

From what I have heard, they rewrote the install program. So it is probably not that they removed it, it would instead be that they did not add it back yet.

This is correct (though I think the function theoretically existed in Alpha, you may just not have found it). It's certainly possible in Beta, though there are one or two bugs.

Thanks to both parent comments. IIRC the installer didn't give me the option to install to running and/or pre-configured softraid targets either. Can anyone confirm that's fixed in the beta?

No need for nmap; netstat -lp as root is enough.

Fedora has come with rpcbind (and lockd IIRC) enabled by default for several releases. It is the only daemon I always disable, since I am not using NFS.

Isn't it started on-demand by systemd? If so, firewalling it off would be enough to stop it from running.

Or disabling the socket unit for the service.
