Guest post by Fedora 11 Alpha includes a number of major features including Ext4 as default filesystem, A Windows cross compiler with dozens of libraries available in the repository, PackageKit Firmware support, experimental support for the next generation Btrfs filesystem, GNOME 2.26 development snapshot, KDE 4.2 RC 2 (general release available as an update), Xfce 4.6 Beta, Python 2.6 and more. Download it from here. The general release is targeted to be released at the end of May this year and will have many more enhancements available.

The proposed feature list looks very nice indeed.
I’m very pleased with F10 x64 + KDE4.2 so will probably stick with it until the updates stop coming (Circa F12 maybe?).
Correct. Refer

It is designed so that you can skip every other release.
I agree that KDE 4.x is not polished. But to say that pulse audio does not work correctly and there is no way to re-install/uninstall, sounds a bit like Windows XP mentality, not linux. Yes my grandparents won’t be able to uninstall and tinker, but there is always windows.
Glad, however, for the criticism
I’m not pleased with Fedora 10 + KDE 4.2. There are still to many bugs and crashes (plasma, kwin, …) and to many regressions in amarok 2 (no “added today” feature, magnatunes download does not work, podcasts are crippled and not sorted by date etc.).
I like KDE but KDE 4 is still beta quality. And pulseaudio sucks (sound errors every now and then and you cannot uninstall it anymore like in Fedora 8 – if you uninstall it sound will not work properly anymore).
Works ok here. I have the following repos enabled in KPackageKit:
Fedora 10 – x86_64
Fedora 10 – x86_64 – Updates
RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 – Free
RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 – Free – Updates
RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 – Nonfree
RPM Fusion for Fedora 10 – Nonfree – Updates
Planet CCRMA 10 – x86_64
Planet CCRMA Core 10 – x86_64
Fedora Core 10 – x86_64 – ATrpms
rpm.livna.org for 10 – x86_64
kde (From kde-redhat.sf.net)
kde-unstable
kde-all
kde-testing-all
kde-redhat-unstable-all
“uname -a” gives:
“Linux macbookpro 2.6.27.12-170.2.5.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 01:33:24 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux”
I haven’t had any major trouble with it at all since I installed KDE4.2, maybe the testing/unstable packages are the reason?
