Kalak writes "Fedora Core 2 Test 2, part of the project's goal to 'work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software', has just been released - this test release 'is specifically designed for SELinux testing, as well as testing the 2.6 kernel, GNOME 2.5, and KDE 3.2.1.' Get a copy from one of the mirrors or grab a copy via BitTorrent. You probably want the binary only Torrent."

    Yeah... Kernel 2.6. w007. New process scheduler... ALSA using OSS emulation. No WineX compatibility.

    How is this any good?

    That's great news.

    But do we really need Yet Another Linux Distro?

    As far as I can see, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware and probably others are already

    How about redhat doing their own beta testing and QA, instead of letting a bunch of people do it for them, and then taking their contributions and merging them into a $300 linux distro that they not only didn't write, but also were too lazy to test.

    Because Redhat = Fedora.
