So, when you have a problem looking up linux-kvm.org in Fedora 11 Beta, 
what is this telling you?

That you have a DNS configuration problem with Fedora 11 Beta. Maybe you 
forgot to specify the DNS server or there is some other DNS-related issue.

Whether you can refer to a domain by it's domain name only in a browser
address bar, or by prepending 'www.' to the domain name

linux-kvm.org vs. www.linux-kvm.org

is a DNS issue, and is not a browser issue. Without explaining all the
details, the DNS server authoritative for the linux-kvm.org domain
should include DNS resource records so that linux-kvm.org and
www.linux-kvm.org can both be found. The DNS server for that domain does
in fact do it. Evidently it does, because the url "http://linux-kvm.org"
works fine for me when I type it in the address bar of Firefox, press
<enter>, and get the expected website.
