Fedora Core 2 Test 2 Released
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."

Debian you were thinking of Debian

As I type, one of my machines at home is downloading FC2 test 1. Guess I'd better check the timeline next time...

This not surprising, considering Gnome 2.6 will not be released for another 2 days. Unless you have some method for pulling tarballs from the future that you'd like to let us know about.
But yes, this is just a test release, and the final will include Gnome 2.6 and hopefully will not require time travel.
All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.
Anybody else thought their email announcement is extremly hilarious? :)

This bug has a broken stack.
Say! What a lot of bugs to track.
Yes, some are in tar, and some in su.
Some are old. And some are new.
Some in sed, and some in jed.
And some are even in parted.
Why are they in parted, jed and sed?
I do not know. Bugs should be dead!
Some in jpeg, and some in TIFF
This TIFF one has an attached diff.

Test release bugs are everywhere.

So please test test2 in this mode;

Plus it comes with a new GNOME;

Also X.org is new,
replacing XFree, test it too.
And 3.2.1 of KDE
We need to test, test, test, you see!
So we will test it on our box.
And we will even test out sox.
And we will test it in our house.
And we will test it with our mouse.
And we will test it here and there.
Say! We will test it ANYWHERE!
I'll do the stupid thing first and then you shy people follow...
You insensitive clod.
Might have answered, in part, at least, your own question there, boyo.
Vintage computer games and RPG books available. Email me if you're interested.
What defines general purpose???
Dictionary.com for most of us.
It's called a subscription and it let's you see into "The Mysterious Future" where you should be able to get ahold of whatever tarballs you need.
(Sorry, that was probably lame, but I couldn't resist)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
