"The Fedora distribution is one of the most widely used GNU/Linux distributions. Although non-users sometimes dismiss it as too mainstream to be of interest, those familiar with it appreciate that it uses only free software and showcases the latest programs. Fedora Core 5 (FC5) is slated for release next week." Read more of the preview here. Elsewhere, Christopher Blizzard of Red Hat blogs about modifying Fedora to fit into the OLPC project needs and the optimization work being done on Fedora as a result of it using Red Hat open sourced tools like Dogtail.

That preview is questionnable because the author failed to mention which test version of FC5 he used. The regular OSnews Rahul provided the feedback on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2006-March/msg...

Fedora Just Synced with gnome 2.14 final, and has been running fine here, will stick with fedora from now on after my experience with fc5t3, and now that the place I work at is converting all the computers we do quality checks on over to fedora as part of our govt contracts, it will be a welcome sight

I started out on RH 5.1(?) learned to hate gnome & RPMs, then tried Mandrake. Still hated RPMS. Then I found Slackware and fell in love.
Fedora Core 5 test 3 is the first release in 6 years of any RPM based distro that I like. Now true, I had to fight it to get Nvidia's binary drivers working. It was also fun getting my own custom kernel working, but I suppose that's a given
