 of testers is vital; the final release date and the stability and  
 quality of the new version depend on full and thorough testing by all  
 levels of users, right from beginners who may be confused by, and draw  
 the developers attention to, insufficiently transparent system design,  
 up to seasoned and skilled users who can probe the system deeply. Bug  
 triage and verification testing needs lots of community involvement;  
 please try to spare some time to this vital aspect of our community's  
 future.  
   
 This release, which is based on a major update of the Centos Core,  
 contains many new features. Please run Software Installer in Server  
 Manager regularly during testing to be sure your system reflects the  
 latest stage of development.
