Fedora 12 Beta Roundup

Lots of people have downloaded, installed and written up their experiences with the just-released Fedora 12 Beta. Collected here are some of the Fedora Planet blog posts on the topic.

Adam Williamson[1], Sandro Mathys[2], Paul W. Frields[3] and Andrew Vermilya Jamison[4] all installed the Beta and posted their initial thoughts.

Nicu Buceli noted[5] F12's better webcam support and threw[6] a Windows 7 party to celebrate.

Nicu also reviewed[7] the new GNOME Shell, as did Jeff Ollie[8].

Matt Domsch mentioned[9] that Fedora 12 is now self-hosting. "What does this mean? Simply put, it means that you can use a copy of Fedora 12 to rebuild, from source, all of Fedora 12 again."

Máirín Duffy displayed[10] the work so far in developing a new desktop wallpaper background image.

And finally, some news from off-planet. Ars Technica took a look[11] at the Fedora 12 Beta release.
