Fedora Core 5 Re-spins Available

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the slight-return dept.

Lxy writes "The Fedora Community released re-spins of Fedora Core 5 last Thursday. What's a respin you ask? To put it simply, all the latest updates have been patched into the install CDs, eliminating the need for a long download process after installing. You can read the press release here and of course nab the torrents here."

    This is not Fedora Core 5, but an incremental release?

    Oh I know, let's do what makes sense and call it Fedora Core 5.1 to eliminate confusion and avoid compatibility issues down the road, and potential security holes when the sysadmin grabs the wrong Fedora Core 5.0 DVD.

    Oh right, that makes too much sense.

    Seriously, now, why didn't they just announce Fedora Core 5.1, or at least 5.0.1?
