The Fedora Project is proud to announce the beta release of its free cutting-edge Linux operating system, Fedora 17, code-named “Beefy Miracle.” Fedora offers the latest open source technology integrated into a Linux distribution that anyone can freely download, use, modify, and redistribute. We believe this beta release certainly lives up to its beefy namesake, with numerous features and enhancements on the desktop and under the hood, as well as updates to several developer tools for those who can't wait to cook up the next great open source project.
The Fedora Project is a worldwide community of more than 20,000 collaborators that help advance the cause of software freedom. These contributors interact to create a vibrant, growing community dedicated to the advancement of free and open source software. The most anticipated product of this community is Fedora, the operating system released by the project approximately every six months. Fedora represents the culmination of work by hundreds of engineers and thousands of contributors from many different locations and many different walks of life.
Software enthusiasts are encouraged to download the release and help identify items that need attention before Fedora 17 becomes generally available. With the beta release, the software is relatively stable, but real-world use and reports from users helps identify any lingering bugs so they can be addressed before wide distribution.
If you’re looking to try out the latest in free and open source software, you’ll find it in the Fedora 17 beta release. Check out just a small portion of our list of fresh-from-the-oven features:
