Posted by timothy on from the embarrassment-of-riches dept.

At OSDir our screenshot tour of Fedora Core 3 takes you through boot, installation, desktop, taskbar, menus, configuration, and the new features of this new release. Our Core 3 screenshot tours have taken you through Test 1, 2, 3, and now the final release. Check it out."

  1. Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Linux by Proudrooster · · Score: 4, Funny
    Last week Jon Stewart started the Daily show with this (It summarizes nearly every Linux/Windows thread on Slashdot):
    If you're ever looking to start a fight.
    If you're ever looking to just to get into a real riotus situation, where you are sure violence must happen, just shout "I love a Linux based system that can plug into USB, but doesn't have the RAM of my ass!"

    I don't know what any of it means, but clearly other people do and have very strong opinions about it. You put the Google people next to the MSN search people and the whole f*cking thing explodes.

    SElinux? Kernel 2.6.9? Improved Wireless utilities? A ton of other things including a professional and consistent feel despite the desktop environment being used? Fedora got there better;)

    1-xmms refuses to play MP3, moronic RH choice.

    FC3 also fails to ship shrek 2, the new Eminem album , and MS Windows source code.
