It is time yet again where the next Fedora Core installment
(this time, Core 6) begins to grab the attention of red-hat-wearing
penguins and other GNU/Linux enthusiasts. Yesterday was the inaugural
test release of Fedora Core 6, which is targeted at die-hard Fedorians,
and any other users wishing to get a glimpse at what Fedora Core 6 will
hold in store. Of course, Fedora Core 6 Test 1 is not a stable release
for use with production machines, so proceed at your own risk. We have
been experimenting with Fedora Core 6 Test 1 for about 24 hours now, and
have a few thoughts to share. Fedora Core 4 Stentz shaped up to be a
competitive release, and Fedora Core 5 Bordeaux continues to be one of
the best Linux distributions to date, so how will Fedora Core 6 fare in
this competitive open-source world?
