Alpha version of Fedora 16 "Verne" released
The Fedora Project has made the first and only alpha version of Fedora 16 available to download. It was originally scheduled for release a week ago, but was delayed a week due to a series of problems. As a result, Fedora has also put back all subsequent scheduling by 7 days, so that Fedora 16 (named after Jules Verne) is, barring further delays, now expected to arrive on 1 November.
The alpha version of Fedora 16 uses a pre-release version of GNOME 3.2 Zoom The feature freeze is already in place, so that the alpha should contain all major changes in a testable form. These include the switch to the GRUB2 boot loader, which, though officially still under development, has long been used by other distributions.
