Fedora Core 5, 'Bordeaux', has been released to mirrors. The release notes [.html download] are posted, along with sets of screenshots of the installation procedure and the resulting desktop, by Linux-Noob, so boys and girls, rejoice. The main new features of Fedora Core 5 are the latest GNOME and KDE desktops (2.14 and 3.5 respectively), integration of early work on the Fedora Rendering Project, Mono installed by default, new pakage manager front-ends, better sleep/hibernate support, and much, much more. Update: Screencast and screenshots.

Nah, you shouldn't have to go that far...
Just join the torrent - where's the harm in that?
To Thoms defence: it is in deed downloadable from an official mirror. However it is bad journalism to say something is "released" and then link to some forum called linux-n00b where some n00b (not just an insult, it's actually true this time) found a mirror that had the release out.
One thing is being first with the news. A totally different thing is to report news before they happened.
What would have been cool is if OSnews carried the story the second FC5 was released! THAT would be being first with bringing the news...
