I am currently downloading Fedora 17.

I will install it as a vm on my Windows 8 Hyper-v system.

I have FreeBSD and Ubuntu installed there already.

In case anyone else cares but doesn’t know, Windows 8 has the Windows Server Hyper-V role available for installation. If your physical CPU and motherboard can be set to turn on virtulization in the BIOS, then you can install Hyper-V in Add New Features in the Programs applet of Control Panel. From there you can install any legal system you own (Linux systems are open source and can be installed freely) as a virtual machine.

Try it, it’s awesome!

Currently downloading Fedora 17 via preupgrade to go from FC16 to FC17 (and typing this on the same machine while I wait!).
