I know there are a ton of posts about Fedora 21 Alpha hitting the Fedora Planet, and hopefully elsewhere on the web. But I couldn’t resist saying congratulations to the Fedora community on getting this release out. We’ve had a long release cycle for Fedora 20 to accommodate a lot …
I’m sure there will be plenty of news reports on the wire with Fedora 16 Alpha reviews. I wanted to share a couple brief thoughts, as opposed to a long review. I downloaded a copy of RC5 (which is the candidate that got the gold star) from the stage location …
I was really eager to get my laptop onto the branch that will become Fedora 15. A recently uncovered bug (possibly in glibc), along with another unrelated problem (in pygobject?), are preventing installs via the nightly composed ISO images of the pre-release. So if you’re on Fedora 14, and want …

Today marks the Fedora 12 Alpha release, hot off the presses! You can pick up a copy to try all the latest technologies here: //fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease I’ve been running the Alpha version for about a week or so on one of my home machines. While there are some minor foibles here …
