One week later than scheduled, the Fedora Project has released the first and only alpha version of its Fedora 13 Linux distribution, aka Goddard, which is scheduled for release in mid May. With the feature freeze having come into effect a month ago, the first pre-release version of the distribution, which is being advertised under the release slogan "Rock it", now contains all major features likely to find their way into Fedora 13.

A pre-release version of GNOME 2.30, for example, adds new programs for managing users and for colour calibration of monitors, scanners and printers. The development team has also enhanced integration of PulseAudio into KDE, version 4.4 of which is now included in the distribution. Moblin desktop fans can install a preview edition of version 2.2.
