Fedora 25 Alpha Linux Distro Now Available (betanews.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Today, Fedora 25 Alpha sees a release. While the pre-release distribution is not ready for end users, it does give testers an early start at poking around.
Keep in mind what an Alpha release is folks -- this is pre-Beta. In other words, it is littered with bugs, and you should definitely not run it on a production machine. There are already some show-stopping known issues -- a couple are related to dual-booting with Windows (scary). One bug can destroy OS X data when dual-booting on a Mac!

    I think the news is what's not mentioned in the headline or summary. In this release, Wayland is now preferred over X.org. I believe that will make F25 the first major distro release to make the switch?
