Any way to update from Fedora Core 1 without downloading the.isos?

Bench marks? Reliability?

Have there been benchmarks done between Federora and RH 8/9? Is so, where are they? How is reliability as compared to RH 8/9?
The key question is why switch if it is working? And if there is something worthwile, how long should one wait (when things are considered stable) until they switch?

Yes, exactly on schedule. Right. Did you not notice that their schedule was revised about 5 times along the way? I remember the release date being for May 3 at one point.
Or perhaps this was a subtle attempt at humor?
That said, I'm really looking forward to trying it out. It's a real mess trying to decide between RH9+legacy, FC1, FC2, RHEL, and WhiteBox. Oh, how I long for the simple days of RH9!

2.6.5 kernel. Not sure about the rest. Oh, and don't install it (dual boot) on a machine running Windows XP without a full backup, since it has been known to make XP unbootable without wiping the partition table and starting again. This problem is being investigated, and there's a fairly active flamewar on the fedora-test list about it.

Every single byte in a file affects the MD5Sum, making it very difficult to modify a file and have the MD5Sum remain constant. This is even more difficult if you want to include something specific in the file (like a trojan), since you would need some garbage to compensate (and a nice big supercomputer to work out exactly what that garbage should be). On the other hand, perhaps you have a simple way of doing it. If so, perhaps you could give me a string (of any length) which matches the following MD5Sum:

The 4KSTACK change is inevitable, unstoppable, and also foreshowed long in advance. There are too many benefits, especially when running large numbers of threads.
NVidia will release a new driver compatible with 4KSTACKS soon. It's a pity that they aren't available now, because Fedora Core 2 looks like a very exciting distribution otherwise.

I starting download using BitTorrent around 10:00am ET when it was official released but the download rate was horrible (like 5 KiB/s). Then arround noon it got really fast (like 200 KiB/s)!!! What happened?! That was when this article was posted on Slashdot so I had more peers to talk to - maybe the first reverse slashdotting ever.
