from Red Hat and at distinguished mirror sites near you, and is also available in the popular torrent format.
New features in Fedora Core 4 test 2 include GNOME 2.10, KDE 3.4, as well as a preview of GCC 4.0, as well as support for the PowerPC architecture. Additionally, Fedora Core 2 has been transferred to the Fedora Legacy Project."

a) its a dupe. b) too many "as well"'s question: does this one kill windows too?

Since Zonk posted a dupe submission, I thought it would be important to post the entire discussion thread from that article here.

I'm not sure if they've done this, but they REALLY need to compress their distro down a lot! 3 - 4 cd's to get a usable desktop is terrible. They should get a gnome desktop, and office suite onto cd 1, then development tools on cd 2, etc.
last time i tried fedora, i needed to download 3 cd's just to get a desktop.

My gentoo install CD is 50MB... Sure I had to download roughly 400MB of other stuff to get a workstation [no desktop just X] but I got to choose what I wanted...
That and updating is much simpler and flexible...

Anyone know if the 'Minimal' install set requires more CDs? One could set everything else up from a repository [wieers.com]...

Q: How will The Fedora Project be made available to the public?
A: Fedora Core releases will be available as ISO images for both CDs and DVDs, and will also be available through other channels such as third-party online sales of physical media; distribution at Linux User Groups, included in magazines and in books, and maybe even handed out at trade shows. The bits may be actively pushed into content sharing networks such as BitTorrent. (Not all mechanisms will be used for each release, except that ISOs will be freely available for each release.)
Or, google the words fedora dvd. There are a few scripts floating around to compose a DVD from the ISOs or the distribution tree itself.

They FIGHT!!!.
The Hat flies off into infinity cursing its maker.

I'm a linux n00b. I LOVE using yum to update/install all my packages. Does anyone know how to upgrade to Fedora Core 4? I'd like to play around with and not have to burn 3 CDs and reinstall.
Update For for the dupe. Not going well. Appreciate all the hate mail. Really encourages improvement.
