The beta version of Fedora 9 has been released. It comes with GNOME 2.22, KDE 4.0.2, Firefox 3.0 beta 5, PackageKit, Kernel 2.6.25-rc5, and much more. "The Beta release is the point at which we really want and need the wider community's help with testing. Beta is a point of much greater stability in Fedora's development branch, but some fixes continue to occur to improve usability, performance, and stability."

I agree with you that it works well and performs well. I am hoping that the rough edges of pulseaudio and the audio applications will be smoother with this release. I am using Fedora 8 on an old Athlon 1 Gig Hz chip and it works well. I have a dual boot of Windows XP on the same box and I only logged into it this year to pay the taxes with Turbo Tax since it has issues with Wine still.
I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet but Firefox 3 picks up the GTK theme correctly so the icons are real Gnome icons and not approximated skins. Nice touch thanks to the Mozilla folks working on the Linux build.

I think it's cool that just a couple of years ago Fedora was just starting out after the discontinuation of Red Hat 9 and now is itself up to its own version 9. As an end user I think this is one distribution that works well and looks good!
