Fedora Core 3 Test 1 Released
Gudlyf writes "Notice just went out to the Fedora Announce List about the availability of Fedora Core 3 Test 1. Things expected in FC3 include Linux kernel 2.6.7, GCC 3.4, GNOME 2.8, KDE 3.3, and Evolution 2.0. As always, you can get Fedora Core test releases at redhat.com, specifically here and (for a torrent) here."
yes, quite a joy. i always rejoyce when i get to screw my girlfriend for 6 hours while i wait for my PC to recompile the compiler. =]
Yes, just install it and select the option to overwrite all existing partitions, assuming you want the "Break XP" option.

Aren't Windows XP installs broken by default?

I believe there was a typo in your post:
you mispelled "masterbate to pictures of techTV chicks" as "screw my girlfriend" and "constantly" as "6 hours".
my pet machine
They should have nicknamed it XPsp2
On the off chance...
"Piter, too, is dead."
One of the Fedora developers sneezed! Quickly slashdot his blog now!
(j/k, it just seems like a new test release doesn't warrant a mention, perhaps on OSNews)

im just finishing off a 4.1gb download of fedora core 2, on a 150k connection.
It's already starting to act slow, so I might as well post it as an AC to avoid karma whoring.
DUDE!!! Why on earth would you AVOID karma whoring? Don't you know there are children starving for karma in China? Waste not, want not, all that jazz? Karma whoring is the noble backbone of Slashdot civilization! It's one of the four holy pillars of Slashdot, the other three being 'In Soviet Russia', 'Beowulf Cluster', and 'Natalie Portman's Hot Grits'. No wonder you posted AC, the outrage of someone AVOIDING karma whoring would follow you for all eternity. You'd have an angry mob of geeks with torches and pitchforks angrily camped outside your castle shouting "Send out the heretic!"
Gandalf should have chosen YOU to carry the ring, you've obviously got a stronger will than Frodo. My God. You passed up a perfectly good Karma Whore! My mind reels. That's the geek equivalent of purposely puking on Pamela Anderson to make sure she doesn't accidentally have wild meaningless sex with you.
It's. Just. Not. Right.
Please, think seriously about what I've said -- Friends don't let friends pass up a good Karma Whore. Don't let it happen again.
I'm not normally an irrational zealous dickhead, but I figure "When in Rome..."

Yes, but there are various types of brokenness, various... flavors. Your typical fresh XP installation has the "Who is the deranged half-monkey responsible for this so-called UI?!" flavor, while older ones mature and develop unique flavors like "Where the hell did the clipboard functionality go?" or "No free space on target drive? I have twenty goddamn gigabytes of free space on that drive!"
Windows users appreciate the unique flavors their operating system offers them... No, actually they hate every single one, but they do prefer them over "Grub has been loading for half an hour and I doubt it's ever going to finish."
USE HOT GRITS WITH STATUE OF NATALIE PORTMAN (NAKED AND PETRIFIED)
Excellent! I think I'll try using that as a cut'n'paste karma whore in the future. :-)
