Announcing the release of Fedora 15 Alpha

Amen. I can promise one thing. Mutter isn't coming anywhere my public lab machines, even as an option. I ain't answering the support questions.

And it isn't going on any machine I use. I just booted the F15 Alpha Live Disk and all I can say is NO. To switch virtual desktops I'm expected to mouse to the upper left corner then down to bottom middle? (Or use the keyboard shortcut, which I'd use instead.) And that insanity of the whole second screen with application icons is a non-starter. I hope the inability to get focus follow mouse is lack of space on the live disc but I have a terrible feeling that it is another victim of the GNOMEs getting the Steve Jobs disease of "However I happen to prefer a setting is the ONE way and you pitiful fools will do it my way until you realize I was right all along."

Looks Like I'll get one more version where I can probably force Compiz or metacity to work while I transition to XFCE.
