2007-02-01 NEW • Development Release: Fedora Desktop 7 Test 1
- Jesse Keating has announced the availability of Fedora Desktop 7 Test 1, a 3-CD, GNOME-only variant of the first development build of Fedora 7: "Fedora 7 Test 1 has been released today. For this particular release, we only did a Desktop spin of the package collection. We are still fine tuning targeted spins of the collection as part of the merger of Core and Extras. We also produced a live CD that has the ability to install to your hard drive, should you wish." That's all we know about the release, since the release announcement gives away very little information and no release notes have been published. Interested beta testers should download the CD and DVD images from Fedora's torrent server or directly from these mirror sites: FD-6.90-i386-DVD.iso (1,948MB, SHA1), FD-6.90-x86_64-DVD.iso (2,133MB, SHA1).
