| == What is Rawhide? == | | === DVD === |
|
| |
|
| The name ''Rawhide'' is given to the current development head of Fedora. For example, while {{FedoraVersion|long|next}} is being [[Releases/Schedule|developed and released]], content destined for {{FedoraVersion|long|next2}} is available in Rawhide.

| | | |- |
| Rawhide is available for consumption in several different ways, including:
| | ! colspan="5" style="background-color: pink;" | DVD.iso installation |
| # A daily snapshot of the latest built Fedora packages
| | |- |
| # A collection of non-destructive live images, built daily, for each [http://spins.fedoraproject.org/about Fedora Spin]

| No-one should use Rawhide without fully understanding the risks.

| Since Rawhide is a development branch, many changes are not heavily tested (or tested at all) before being released. Packages in Rawhide can, and do, break without warning. It is even possible that bugs in Rawhide could cause data loss.
| | | Image Sanity |
| | | | [[QA:Testcase_Mediakit_ISO_Size]] |
| However, testing Rawhide is a very valuable activity which helps to direct Fedora development and provides a way to try out the latest software as early as possible. If you understand the risks, and are able to diagnose, work around and collaborate with other rawhide users, then Rawhide might be right for you. ''Ask your doctor about Rawhide today.''

| Once your system is installed, you can upgrade to Rawhide using one of two ways. For desktop users:

| # First, modify your software sources to include '''only''' the Rawhide package repository. Launch the package update tool by selecting ''System'' -> ''Administration'' -> ''Add/Remove Software''.
| | | [[QA:Testcase_Mediakit_FileConflicts]] |
| # Next, select the software sources tool by selecting ''System'' -> ''Software Sources''
| | | {{result|pass}} {{result|warn}} |
