| head-to-head against Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron", but what features can one
| expect in this forthcoming release? Among the features being worked on are
| encrypted file-system support, updating the KDE spin to KDE 4.0, PackageKit

[Screenshots] Fedora 9 KDE Live Alpha

| With Fedora living on the front-line of Linux technologies, Fedora 9 Sulphur
| will be shipping with KDE 4.0 as opposed to holding off until KDE 4.1 with
| Fedora 10. With the release of Fedora 9 Alpha this morning, we've taken both
| the GNOME and KDE versions for a test spin. While this alpha release is
| shipping with KDE 4.0.0, and Fedora 9 final release will likely ship with KDE
| 4.0.3, this desktop LiveCD had worked out fairly well in our initial usage
| tests. For your viewing pleasure we've included some screenshots of Fedora 9
| KDE Live Alpha.

Fedora 9 (Sulphur) Alpha Release Notes
,----[ Quote ]
| The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community to
| become involved with the testing of Rawhide: representing a sanitised
| snapshot of Fedora's development branch, which sees rapid changes and will
| become the next major release, it should boot on the majority of systems,
| providing both an opportunity to get a look at what new features will be
| included in the next release and also an opportunity to provide feedback and
| bug reports to help ensure that the next release is as good as possible.
