The Fedora Project has a pre-release of Fedora Core 6 available for testers. More information on the new features that will be available in Fedora Core 6 is detailed in the release summary draft. This release comes with Compiz/AIGLX which provides all those fancy effects.

Test 4

So, is similar to a "Test 4" release? I really look forward installing it, but would it be better to wait until it is fully released? Their roadmap shows that the development freeze should be 2 October, and then the final release on 11 October.

This pre-release is for testers to iron out most bugs as possible before releasing the Final version. It is more like a release candidate as it has been done before on Fedora Core 4 IIRC.
