The Fedora Project has released the first test release of Fedora 8. Here the full announcement:
Fedora 8 Test one has been loosed upon the world today. 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. This is the time when we would like to have full xommunity participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers. We need your help. Join us!
