[RobRich]

Fedora 9 Alpha is now available for public download in ISO format. Both standard installation and live CD versions are provided. The live CD versions are further broken down into if you want KDE or Gnome as the default user interface.

It could take awhile before most of the big mirror sites have the release available. I am currently downloading the KDE live CD release from a rather low bandwidth mirror at only ~150KBps.

Note, the Gnome live CD release uses GNOME 2.21 with GVFS and GIO. The KDE live CD release using KDE 4. Other notables includes Firefox 3 Beta 2, PackageKit (based upon yum), and potentially improved X window performance.
