Fedora Core Release 3 Released?

[Anonymous Coward]

Isn't that as redundant as "Hot Water Heater"?

Released?

[RealProgrammer]

Whenever I read that an Open Source package has been "released", I think, "Wasn't it already Free?"

Re:Released?

[supergiovane]

No, it wasn't.

Cordially yours,
RMS

when will we have FC4?

[Anonymous Coward]

could it be next week because I'm thinking these guys are a bit too slow. I'd like them to move the pace up a bit that way I really don't have time to get used to their distro before the next comes out.

Re:Oh, the irony!

Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 With 60 Hotfixes Installed.

You need service pack 4, that's your problem.

I don't believe that either "stabler" or "securer" are words.

Re:Question

[Misch]

Suse is a sports car inside a family sedan. Suse also has nicer kernels. Redhat Kernels are just ...

Just what? Cup holders?

[Simsypoo]

The Red Hat Department of Reduncancy Department regretfully regrets the naming of the name given to Fedora Core Release 3 Release. Bye Bye

Re:That's the point

[gormanly]

Hmm, in my case they're using me to test both. Shame bugzilla reports on FC get ignored. As for quality control, Fedora seems to bypass the concept - FC2 sucks worse than any distro I've ever used, and I've been running everything on RH since the 4.2 days. If FC3 doesn't improve things I'll ... bitch some more on Slashdot.

Re:Oh, the irony!

[drunkahol]

Sure they are words . . .

I stabled the horse. Therefore I was the stabler of the horse.

I secured the stable. Therefore I was the securer of the stable.

Or thereabouts anyway. If in doubt - make words up. It's more fun. Just as long as you spell them properly.

Re:why is it necessary to post screenshots?

[sapped]

when most of the time more or less of all [linux distributions|women] look the same,if they are all [customized|dressed|undressed] the same. And here on Slashdot I'm sure everyone already know what [things|insert favourite part of anatomy here] look like in almost all the different [window managers|bikinis|lingerie|nothing].

Yeah, no idea why people like looking at pictures.

Re:Screenshots?

[Anonymous Coward]

It is especially important to those of us who run it as a server and don't even have X on it.

Anyone else read as

[einhverfr]

Fedora Core Release 3 is out now, Heidelberg, 2.6.9-1.667 kernel, Firefox included !

Wow, a kernel with an included web browser! How nifty ;-)

Re:screenshots

[LnxAddct]

Your statement is interesting from a psychological view point as any Intro to Psych student could tell you. Anyway your probably oppressing something that happened to you as a child, maybe your father touched you or took pictures of you that you would like to forget about. Anyway... you most likely are the homosexual simply because you are randomly accusing others of being one, your trying to make yourself feel better about your homesexual tendencies and justify it to yourself. Regardless, your ignorance is shown in your response by the fact that BitTorrent would very well be just as good at mirroring screenshots as well. I don't believe I ever specified ISO's. But then again you seem to be so distressed, which is seen through your excessive use of unnecessary and violent language, that any logic probably wouldn't make sense to you. Anyway... Say it with me, "Rick and Roll was touched by his father as a child, and when he's not crying to himself, he's taking out his anger on the world."

Misunderstood feature

[jd]

That wasn't a bug, that was a virus prevention strategy. :)

Should have seen this coming.

[wayward_son]

I just spend the better part of the weekend installing FC2 on my laptop.

Re:Fedora Core Release 3 Released?

[RealProgrammer]

The Red Hat Department of Redundancy Department regretfully announces that the morons in charge of the moronic naming of Fedora Core Release 3 have been released, erm, sacked.

Code name sounds like Hindenburg

[theurge14]

Hope it doesnt burn up and die on me.

666 + one

[dankelley]

I notice the kernel is build-number 667, i.e. the number of the beast, plus unity. Any significance to that?
