just check that link: http://fedoraproject.org/
hopefully both versions - Gnome and KDE - available as Live CDs.

(heard it will include, on the KDE version, KDE 4 set to default, some kinda new partition encryption software
should also be available at install time)

I forgot to mention that my brother is a developer for fedora(or at least will be officially, in the sense of getting paid, starting this summer). If you have any questions about fedora 9 or 10 (they will start soon to work at it) feel free to ask. I'm not sure if there is an NDA, I'll have to ask him

oh something I read yesterday @ PCLOS forum: someone mentioned that Texstar (the lead dev @ PCLOS) might switch to a Fedora based OS and give up Mandriva on which all PCLOS versions were based off until now...also sounds like the full new PCLOS 2008 (not MiniMe) isn't even announced yet, although 2007 version came out in May last year. All I knew is that the devs have been working on the upcoming 2008 version since October last year...don't know what's going on. I wouldn't mind a switch to Fedora architecture...and Texstar's team is really good at doing that...they outperformed Mandriva already :D OK let's wait and see.

adding: let's not forget OpenSuse 11 should be out in a few weeks from now...

posting from the 64-bit version of fedora 9 (somebody should have told me there is no flashplayer for 64bit)
