Curiosity got the better of me so I downloaded the 64-bit iso and burnt a DVD.

I'll bring along my laptop and the DVD to tonight's wlug meeting if anyone would like to play with Fedora 20-1 Scientific KDE live.

I'll also bring the .iso file  ...if you have 3.5GB's of space on a USB stick.

cheers,
Ian.
