The Fedora Project announced, a few minutes ago, the release of Fedora 11 (Leonidas) Alpha. The team invites everybody to download the ISO and start contributing with feedback, bug reports and new ideas (see below for links). The Alpha should be able to boot on any system and it offers a peek into the features that will be included in the final release. Of those, worth mentioning are the experimental support for the Btrfs filesystem, stable and default support for the breathtaking EXT4 filesystem, KDE 4.2, GNOME 2.26, Python 2.6, a new volume control, an exciting multi-seat support (multiple peripherals can be connected at the same time on a single machine) and a cross-compiler, allowing developers to build and test Windows applications right from their Fedora box, without requiring a Windows OS installation.
