Hi everyone,
I just give a try for the Fedora 13 Alpha RC4 LiveCD, both GNOME and
KDE i686 spins. I tested them on Asus F9Dc (Smolt:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_14928b57-c5ee-4156-a3c2-f120b37959eb ).
There is no driver problem detected. All the devices work fine,
including Nouveau KMS, Fingerprint Scanner, Logtiech C200 Webcam and
Atheros 5007 wireless card.
For the part of GNOME spin, I am happy to see that the
OpenOffice.org
3.2 was installed by default and the gThumb was replaced by Shotwell
0.4.3. It would be better to see the coming Shotwell 0.5 presents in
the final release or following updates. However, the required Vala
0.7.10 seems to be unavailable in any repos currently.
For the part of KDE spin, I have to say it's the first time I have a
Fedora KDE spin delivers completely KDE4 experience. KNetworkManager,
KOffice 2.0, K3b KDE4 port. No more gtk or kde3 stuff in systray nor
lib. KDE fans will love it.
Thanks for testing and reporting your results! I expect Shotwell will be
updated regularly before the Beta, we are not version frozen at this
point.
For both spins, I noticed a significant oversize for a single CD
though It is not a big deal for the ones who just use them as LiveUSB.
This is intentional; the primary live spins for F13 will no longer be
CD-sized, they will be capped at 1GB. This is to give a little extra
wiggle room to get apps like OO.o in. The rationale is that the large
majority of users will have a USB drive or DVD writer available.
I am going to go through some test profiles after finishing the
coursework. :-)
Thanks again!
