By Katherine Noyes , PCWorld 




The Fedora Project on Tuesday announced that the next version of its namesake Linux distribution --Fedora 17, also known as “Beefy Miracle”--has now entered beta testing. 



“The Beta release is the last important milestone of Fedora 17,” wrote release engineer Dennis Gilmore in the official announcement . “Only critical bug fixes will be pushed as updates leading to the general release of Fedora 17 in May.” 


As a beta release, it's not intended for production purposes, of course. Nevertheless, the Fedora 17 beta can be downloaded for free from the Fedora Project site . The final release of the software is due on May 22 .
