Allen Zadr writes "Today, the Fedora team has released Fedora Core 3 - Test 3. Just a little behind schedule. It's available for AMD Opteron and Intel i386, with CD or DVD images. To get it, join the torrent. Core 3, Test 2 was previously discussed."

  1. Front Page? by poofyhairguy82 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    With this site being so pro-linux, I'm amazed this stuff isn't put on the front page. Would be nice, the torrent could use some more!

  2. so, what about "that issue" by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Sure, you'll mod me down as a troll for this, but I'll ask.

    I use Fedora core 1 and 2 myself, but I don't recommend FC2 to anyone for a simple reason: it will erase your windows XP partition tables.

    Sure you can (usually) get it back, but when I'm trying to introduce people to Linux the last thing I need to do is get them scared to do anything because they 'might' erase their stuff.

    At the time, this was acknowledged as a problem in the Kernel used in the install process and that it wasn't limited to Fedora. Fine, but nobody fixed it. In fact, when I would ask if it's been fixed, the usual response is jokes about "what, that's a GOOD thing it erases M$-WINDOZE!!!11"

    So I've asked it before and I'll ask it again, does Fedora Core 3 have "that issue" fixed? The trolls and jokes will form at the end of this post.
