Fedora Core 1 Released

EvilAlien writes "The Fedora Project has released Fedora Core 1, aka Yarrow. The release was expected on November 3rd, but was briefly delayed. The release notes has quite a bit of good detail, and is worth checking out for any preliminary questions you may have. Download options include BitTorrent in addition to the traditional collection of FTP mirrors."

Re:One important issue...

Debian has Testing and Unstable releases (although in my experience Debian Unstable is more stable than some distros' production releases (coughmandrakecoughcoughmandrakecough). It's my impression that Fedora is to Red Hat what Testing and Unstable are to Debian Stable. Or perhaps a better comparison might be that it is to Red Hat what Mozilla is to the branded Netscape browser.

Boycott Redhat!

[Anonymous Coward]

After redhat decided to kill its desktop and preach to the devil (Microsoft), I can not use it ever again. Even before they killed it, they used the terrible versions of gnome (before it became usable in 2.2/4), had bad hardware support (the only distro that didn't detect everything), and not freindly at all to the home user,

I urge EVERYONE who has redhat (desktop or server) to DUMP it now.

Please support Pro desktop Distros such as Mandrake, SuSE, Lindows, Lycoris, Ark, JAMD, and even gentoo (yes, even though it takes ages to install, it has really comprehensive documentation and freindly forums, Even though I don't use gentoo any more its worth trying out to learn about the innards of Linux).

Redhat dosen't deserve its hat, burn your hats. Other distros are aiming for the desktop, and recent releases work on my most obscurest hardware and are easier to use that before. If you haven't tried the wonders of KDE 3.1.4, Gnome 2.4, OpenOffice 1.1 and mplayer 0.92 then you don't know what your missing (and wine fills in the few missing gaps that are soon due to be filled)

We don't need Redhat, the great thing about opensource is the you have a Choice. Let Redhat burn in hell.

Slow release

[rkuris]

What I find interesting is the way in which the "announcement" was made. The ISOs were really avaialable last night, if you knew where to look. Their website still points at the old "severn" stuff. Unless you happened to be on ICQ, you'd find out about it through slashdot.

I wonder if the slow delay helps improve download responsiveness?

That has to be the stupidest argument that anyone has ever used. Get a life, will you?

Re:Features

What "argument"?

It was a joke, you humourless fuckwit.

But I just checked, and Mac OSX ISO images are available on eMule.

Did I make any complaint whatsoever about FrontPage? CERTAINLY NOT. I was making the observation that a site which generally takes a very anti-MS stance (/.!) has ads for them on their home page.

Maybe you should read a comment first before posting a flagrant knee-jerk reaction and contributing to the growing idea-dev-null on /.

YOU SIR, are the one who needs to grow up.
