This is starting to get off topic but:
All of the critical accelerated drivers for Linux guests hosted by newer
versions of VMware are in the main Linux and X.org distributions. The
past few Fedora releases have included them.
While Fedora may not officially support it, I have every Fedora vers

Besides the cool name, what causes this?

I would like to propose adding more test days for spins to the Fedora QA
process.
Fedora Spins ( http://spins.fedoraproject.org/ ) are customized Live CDs
which can easily be given to volunteers to test. They are convenient,
pre-grouped sets of related items arranged in a logical fashion.

I had a similar conversation on test cases while trying to plan for an
upcoming test day:

In general, it might be useful to know how skilled most test day

If they are, we may have to move into #fedora-meeting-1 .

take this approach, and the interface appears to be moderated.

I can understand the frustration caused by lesser-used and more-obscure
items needing karma. But is there any system at the moment which a tester
can use which (1) notifies them when items of interest are updated
(independent of a mass email) and/or (2) can scan a user's configuration and

I don't know exactly how this works in Linux, but in many other OS's
(FreeBSD, etc.) this may not be a problem so long as your network traffic
(DNS, etc.) works properly.
If the driver for your network card supports transmit and/or receive
checksum offloading, Linux may not be calculating or verif

Watching the latest updates in Fedora, there have been many items (libtiff,
wireshark, asterisk, etc.) which I know how to use, but I am somewhat
hesitant to test since they require having a lot of sample files,
configurations, and (in the case of things like Asterisk) other systems to
talk to.

Just curious, but has anyone considered something like Microsoft's
symbol server system, which can download symbols for specific executable
files from one or more central repositories?
They have public servers which can be used to download symbols for
released products, and private ones can be set
