Fedora Core 2 Review
An anonymous reader writes "Linuxlookup.com staff member Rich Hughes posted his thoughts on the latest Fedora release with this Core 2 Review. "Fedora Core 2 is the newest release from The Distro Formerly Known As RedHat. Updates include the 2.6 kernel, KDE 3.2, Gnome 2.6, X.org replacing Xfree86 and numerous package updates. Having played around with SuSE 9.1, Arch .6 and Slackware 9 with the 2.6 kernel, I was interested in seeing how the Fedora team did with this release.""
At first I was apprehensive. I already owned a nice baseball cap but that fedora looked nice. It slid gently yet firmly on my head coming to rest about 5 mm above my ears. It's done wonders for my sex life, too. Women come from all over to date the guy in the fedora.
Thanks Red Hat!
I believe a colleague has had some success installing core 2 on a Sony Vaio laptop - this is about the hightest recommendation for *any* distro ,-}

Hell.. go for it. Anyone looking for ISOs of FC2? Free to the first couple hundred..
At what price learning? At what cost wisdom? The price is a man's peace of mind, and the cost is his life.
Yes indeed. Fedora is "actually_more_free" than any distro around. If even trashes your MBR so you cannot get back to Windows at all. If you intend to dual boot forget about FC2.
Wouldn't Redhat 7.3 be a more suitable distribution for someone switching from the Debian Camp to the Redhat camp. Redhat 7.3 is about as "bleeding edge" as Debian unstable :)
Dude, slashdot has more bandwidth than god.

all the subscription touting /.ers get a sneak preview, so if you want to avoid slashdotted links you'd better get a subscription.
If everyone subscribed you would be in the same position. Someone has to not subscribe or this won't work. I volunteer.
(Besides, my sound system is within arms reach, it cost more than my PC, and it sounds a lot better. I've never seen why I should bother to copy tracks from my CD's to my PC and put up with degraded quality.)
Whoa! Are you that "Unfrozen Caveman Sysadmin" that everyone's been talking about? You know. The one who was frozen in 1990 and unfrozen in 2004?
I'm intrigued by this "CD" technology of which you speak. Is that some kind of codec, similar to mp3? Tell me more!
The way I see it, RedHat is looking out for the welfare of their customers by including this wonderful new feature. After all, you can't uninstall evil, you have to destroy it!
If my answers frighten you, stop asking scary questions.
No, Slashdot IS God.
or was that Google?
Either way.

I love you.
