[Test-Announce] Fedora 18 Beta Release Candidate 1 (RC1) Available Now!

[Andre Robatino]

As per the Fedora 18 schedule [1], Fedora 18 Beta Release Candidate 1
(RC1) is now available for testing. Content information, including
changes, can be found at
https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5349#comment:31 . Please see the
following pages for download links (including delta ISOs) and testing
instructions. Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest
download, but download-ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror
(with an approximately 1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just
replace "dl" with "download-ib01" in the download URL.

Criteria [5]. Help is available on #fedora-qa on irc.freenode.net [6],
or on the test list [7].
