Not all the games available in Fedora are included on this spin, but trying out this spin will give you a fair impression of Fedora's abilities to run great games. 2011-10-24 Approved for F18, Recurring Yes < 4 GiB Tested alpha TC6 on i686, live boot and hard drive install and boot. The image is currently a bit oversized, but that is acceptable for alpha. I did a quick test of Alpha RC1 and it seemed to work as a live image (no install testing was done), though rebooting hung. ? Between TC4 and RC1 the spin went oversize, but it still works and will fit on a common DVD. If there is an RC2 it should be back under size. The spin functions and installs to hard drive.
