“What’s an Alpha release? The Alpha release contains all the
features of Fedora 12 in a form that anyone can help test. This
testing, guided by the Fedora QA team, helps us target and identify
bugs. When these bugs are fixed, we make a Beta release available.
A Beta release is code-complete, and bears a very strong
resemblance to the third and final release. The final release of
Fedora 12 is due in November.

“We need your help to make Fedora 12 the best release yet, so
please take a moment of your time to download and try out the Alpha
and make sure the things that are important to you are working. If
you find a bug, please report it – every bug you uncover is a
chance to improve the experience for millions of Fedora users
worldwide. Together, we can make Fedora a rock-solid
distribution.”
