And since there was no link to the fedora website, I went to fedora.org. Whoops. Guess I'm gonna get fired (it's not a work friendly image, not nearly in goatse's league though). Apparently they forgot to register the names before they announced the project name.

So, I can download THAT? It might take some time on dial-up, but what the heck...

but isn't including GNOME 2.5 (a development version) a little, un-savery?

Actually Gnomes with a little butter, rosemary and garlic can be quite savory.

Check the EULA carefully

And by the way, there's been a small change to the EULA, which means you have to register to download one copy for every single CPU that you plan to install it on! Don't worry, it's still free, you just have to (re-)regester each time. This is so that RedHat can keep it's statistics up to date. They claim that since it's a GNU license the download registration information will be placed in the public domain.

Also, download soon. Because the all the script kiddies planning to run Fedora based password crackers on their Beawolf clusters will be clogging the mirrors. :)

Did you read this far? Are you smiling at the joke? No? Sorry.. ah.. nevermind.. I guess I better get back to work before my boss catches me on /. again.

I'll wager Gentoo will have it first ;)

Yeah, but by the time you're done building it, FC2 will be released.

[ticklemeozmo]

Why did you link directly to the full isos?!?!?!

Duh, so the part-timers who just happened to load the page before me can get the slow-ass version while the appropriately "hidden" mirror sites remain speedy and fast for me. :)
