Fedora Core 2 Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the distro-wars dept.

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.""

    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 :)
