Test Release: Fedora 8 Test 2

Excerpts from the release announcement.

A veritable "sea" of choices await you in this release. First up is
the "Fedora" installable 'choose your own adventure' style set of isos
and trees for i386, x86_64, and ppc(64). Next up we have a variety of
Live images:

* Fedora Live (i686, x86_64, ppc) - A good general use Desktop live
image. i686 even fits on a CD!

* Fedora KDE Live (i686, x86_64) - A Desktop based on the KDE software
suite. i686 even fits on a CD!

* Fedora Developer Live (i686) - A Live image designed for software
developers.

* Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) Live (i686) - A live image designed for
engineers working on electronics. Fits on a CD!

Remember that these Live images can be used on USB meida via the
'livecd-iso-to-disk' utility available in the livecd-tools package.

Test 2 is for "beta" users. This is the time where we have more
features in a "testable" state where the more people using them and the
more feedback we get the better. So please help us make Fedora 8 as
good as we can!

Alpha Release: Fedora 8 Test 1

Excerpts from the release announcement.

Fedora 8 Test one has been loosed upon the world today. Included in this release is a "Fedora" installable 'choose your own adventure' style set of isos and trees for i386, x86_64, and ppc(64). Also included are Live images of both the Fedora Desktop and the Fedora KDE desktop. These are available for both i686 and x86_64 (x86_64 is DVD size only). Remember these can be used on USB media via the livecd-iso-to-disk utility available in the livecd-tools package.

Test 1 is for "alpha" users. This is the time when we would like to have full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers. We need your help. Join us!
