Red Hat Trying to Make Fedora More Open?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nice-hat dept.

Chillybott writes "CNET reports that Red Hat is trying to bolster more support for the Fedora project by giving the users more control over and input into the development process. The article states that they have made their CVS repositories visible and hints that soon members of the Fedora community will be able to act as distribution maintainers. Seems like a good idea to me, although their choice of acronyms for their conference leaves something to be desired."

    The bug was that after installing Fedora on a system with Windows XP, the master boot record would be corrupted and you couldn't boot Windows XP anymore.

    This is the bugzilla entry. It was present in Core 2.

    Comment 161 says it is also present in Fedora Core 3. I guess it does not affect everyone who installs Fedora on a system with Windows XP on it.
