Fedora Core 2 Test 3 Released

Wee writes "I just got an email from Bill Nottingham of Red Hat letting me know that the third and final test release of Fedora Core 2 is now available. The announcement mentions the big changes are SELinux being disabled by default, that on-and-off problem with install CD1 not booting should be fixed, and anaconda now is sporting 31 languages. The mirrors look like they are opening slowly but surely, and bug reports are always appreciated."

Great!

Do they plan these releases purposely to mess with those poor lower bandwith users? I knew of a time where I tried to download Slackware only to see it go up a number in version, I finally gave out and ordered from cheapbytes, well youre just all cruel!

get two cdrom drives and install them. Put core 1 in one and core 2 in the other. Then, on the command line: #diff /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom1

I thought it was bad at work when I was getting 51kbps. That's on a fairly unused T1. Then I brought the laptop home and resumed on my cable modem connection; it's been 5kpbs pretty steady even after multiple retries and a reboot; i dunno; I've been like you in the past with ultra fast downloads; but FC2T3 is blowing chunks of molasses today. I've been going since the torrent was made available this morning give or take ten minutes and im still trying to get the darn images down...

My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 800 mhz machine at times...

Do these symptoms mysteriously coincide with pushing power button on front of machine?

This while I get a big fat flash ad from Microsoft telling me that mainframe Linux was found to be 10 times more expensive than Windows 2003

This always cracks me up. Millions of hours of work go into an open source unix - and some idiot complains about not having mp3 support available out of the box.
