Fedora 10 Alpha Released

[cardinals_fan]

In an ongoing effort to prevent premature kitten death, the Fedora
Project is ecstatic to present the availability of Fedora 10 (Cambridge)
Alpha. Test now, make it better now, keep Cambridge on schedule, and
protect the kittens in the future.

The Alpha release provides the first opportunity for the wider community
to become involved with the testing of rawhide:

* Alpha represents a sanitized snapshot of rawhide, Fedora's
development branch, which undergoes rapid changes before
becoming the next major release.
* The Alpha should boot on the majority of systems, and provides:
* A look at what new features are to be included in the
next release
* A way to provide feedback and bug reports to help ensure
that the next release is as good as possible

I want to try the Alpha and see how the 'Cheese' application works with my logitech webcam. So far NO linux distro allows me to record video with it :( so I had to load a copy of Vista in order to get video recording via my webcam.
