"After some minor delays (like all rawhide flights grounded for a few days of repair...), the Fedora Project is proud to announce the release of Fedora 9 Preview!

This is a Preview release, it is fairly close to what the final product will be like. This is the most critical release for the Fedora community to use and test and report bugs on. This is the last major public release before the final GOLD Fedora 9 release on May 13th (we hope).

For this Preview release, we will be doing a staged offering. The first stage, available now, will be via bittorrent. The second stage, which should be available early next week, will be via our world wide mirroring system, and will include jigdo.

Live images, KDE Live images, CDs and DVD options are available. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org has a section marked "F9-Preview".

Please us bugzilla to report any problems you find (after making sure that somebody else hasn't already reported the issues).

Thanks again for all the great testing work that the greater community does throughout our development cycle! You make Fedora possible. You are Fedora!"
