| == What is Rawhide? == | | === DVD === |
|
| |
|
| The name ''Rawhide'' is given to the current development head of Fedora. For example, while {{FedoraVersion|long|next}} is being [[Releases/Schedule|developed and released]], content destined for {{FedoraVersion|long|next2}} is available in Rawhide.

| Rawhide is available for consumption in several different ways, including:
| | ! colspan="5" style="background-color: pink;" | DVD.iso installation |
| # A daily snapshot of the latest built Fedora packages
| | |- |
| # A collection of non-destructive live images, built daily, for each [http://spins.fedoraproject.org/about] Fedora Spin

| Since Rawhide is a development branch, many changes are not heavily tested (or tested at all) before being released. Packages in Rawhide can, and do, break without warning. It is even possible that bugs in Rawhide could cause data loss.

| However, testing Rawhide is a very valuable activity which helps to direct Fedora development and provides a way to try out the latest software as early as possible.
