Fedora Core 2 is now officially available from Red Hat and at distinguished mirror sites near you, and is also available in the torrent."
Say what you will about Fedora/Red Hat, but I've set up 2 Fedora boxes recently for 2 people who have never used Linux, and they've both remarked how well it looks and works. Keep up the good work guys!

Perhaps you could work out, for the curious amoung us, what the probability of 2 random sets of 2GB of data have the same md5 signature?
Does this probability increase or decrease with increasing likeness of data?
The boot.iso image is not part of the Fedora Core distribution images and does therfore not have it's MD5 sum listed. It is instead a part of disc1, since you can find it in the "images" subdirectory on the first disc.
The boot.iso in Fedora is the replacement for the many different boot diskette images that used to ship with distros. Using boot.iso you can perform a fully graphical installation of Fedora using many different sources. For example, you can do a network (FTP, HTTP, NFS..) installation or you can have it use the other Fedora discs (though this is pretty pointless, as disc1 is also a boot disk).
I prefer to simply burn the boot.iso image to a CD-RW disc with each release and doing a FTP installation with it, thus saving me 4 discs. It's also faster in my case than burning the discs, since my network is ridiculously fast:)
