You all know the drill." Update: 06/13 19:07 GMT by T : Also in Red Hat-related news, halfbyte_hosting writes "CentOS 4.1 is now on the mirrors and ready for download."

Have the editors not learned from all the times they've done this and screwed up in the past?

You're ID 202812 yet you speak like it's your first time here :-)

Yes, it's been done before. For just about every single Fedora Core release.

Torrent download rate before slashdot posted the story: 10 KB/s

After slashdotting: 145 KB/s (flirting with my max bandwidth)

The response to this question will make a legitimate point about the FC model.
That is some trust you're putting into the average slashdot response;-)

>>10 times easier than windows XP?
>>I think Windows XP installer asks for a grand total for 3 inputs. Computer Name, User Name, and Time Zone.

No, really. Fedora only asks for three-tenths of a prompt for input.

Will it run on WindowsXP Professional or Longhorn? by Anonymous Coward · 2005-06-13 05:36 · Score: 3, Funny

I am new to the whole "computers" scene, and I am wondering if this "Redhat Fedora Core Linux 4" will run on my windows. I am running windows 98. Will I have to upgrade to windows XP if I want to use "Redhat Fedora Core Linux 4"? Or will I have to wait for microsoft longhorn before I can run it on my computer. Also, does it work with my flat screen monitor?
