Fedora Beta Released

If you've got some time go check out and test Fedora Beta. It was released today and incorporates some very exciting features. Particularly for me:

"Further improvements to the boot process that include NVidia, ATI, and Intel video adapters, using the revolutionary kernel mode setting feature in an effort to cut boot time and provide pleasing visuals." - and lay the ground work for better 3d and video performance, better suspend and resume, not running X as root, and a bunch more.

Ubuntu will likely adopt kernel mode setting in the Karmic Koala release but if we test it and find the bugs now we could get less bugs later. You can read the Red Hat Press Release here. And grab the torrents here.
