So since I am new to Fedora and have been running the Alpha, which is running well, I have a question. What is the difference in the Beta's compared to upgrading the alpha via yum? Thanks!

you may get a Anaconda fix with a TC or RC or Beta or Foma; Release but as long as you stay up to date from the alpha you dont need to reinstall

Okay thanks....I wasnt really sure. Yea I going install the Alpha Live Desktop (which I think is Gnome)...but got KDE to install. I have been running Gnome though so far, today it has been Freezing, but not sure how to report since I have to reboot to solve it.

Desktop LiveCD is Gnome correct. best way if you wanna install a fresh build. install KDE liveCD an once thats installed then do a yum groupinstall of Gnome

I'd download the deltaiso and apply it to TC1. Saves a lot of download time.

Code:

yum install deltaiso
applydeltaiso oldiso deltaiso newiso

And before anyone asks, yes, we know that TC2 DVD acts like a network install ISO (doesn't install packages from itself).

Loaded the ISO, graphics performance was terrible. Decided that I'd better not install it.

I have a RadeonHD 5670 and loaded the KDE spin.

i believe there is a bug either in the OpenSource ATI/Nvidia drivers or libdrm

TC2 was using a kernel with debugging enabled, which is know to cause pretty sluggish graphical performance.

If you're interested, you could try http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/fir...319-x86_64.iso - it's an image I built for a different purpose, but it happens to have a production not debug kernel. It's GNOME not KDE, though.

With all due respect. I think I'll wait for something newer to be built with KDE. Thanks for mentioning the debug kernel though. I'll try another ISO if a TC3 or the Beta itself turn up.

there may not be a TC3. looks like they'll go straight to a RC of the beta
