Fedora项目是一份由Red
Hat策划的开放开发项目,它向普通参与者开放并由精英管理者领导,沿着一系列项目目标而前进。Fedora项目的目标是与Linux社区协作,只从开放
源码软件来创建一份完整的、通用的操作系统。其开发过程是以公开论坛的形式进行的。项目将按时间计划,每年作两到三次Fedora的发布,并提供一份公开
的发布日程表。Red
Hat工程组将继续参与Fedora的开发,并且将比以往更多地邀请和鼓励外界的参与。通过采用这样一种更加开放的过程,我们希望能提供一份更加符合自由
软件理念并且对开放源码社区更具吸引力的操作系统。 Jesse Keating has announced the release of Fedora 8 Test 1, the first development build of a brand new version of the popular distribution: "We interrupt your rawhide for a moment to make a small announcement. Fedora 8 Test one has been loosed upon the world. 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." Here is the full release announcement. The installation and live CD/DVD images are available for download from these FTP/HTTP servers and also via BitTorrent: Fedora-8-Test-1-i386 (2,835MB), Fedora-8-Test-1-x86_64 (3,405MB). Happy testing! |
