Fedora Core 2 Release Schedule

Postby Void Main » Fri Dec 19, 2003 3:53 pm

Might as well get this one started:

http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/

This one looks to have some very significant upgrades:

We have set a very aggressive schedule for Fedora Core 2. Red Hat considers two items absolutely "stop-ship" — that is, we will slip the release if necessary to include them. These two items are the 2.6 Linux kernel and SELinux functionality integrated into the distribution. Other areas of technology that the Fedora Community (Red Hat and third parties together) will focus on will include GNOME 2.6 (tight schedule, particularly dependent on Gtk+ 2.4), KDE 3.2, more Java software using gcj (Ant, Tomcat, Jakarta, Eclipse, but not Mozilla plugins, AWT, or Swing), and integrating work on other architectures (at least AMD64, and possibly also SPARC).


Hopefully it will ship as planned by early April.

Hi Void,

I was an early doubter of Red Hat's decision to "abandon" RHL. I joined the Fedora Core mail list and am very happy with FC1. I'm looking forward to the innovations and enhancements that will be available to us all in FC2. If they should find it necessary to hold up release for a few weeks I can wait, knowing that I will find a polished and improved Linux distro available for free, or in my case for a very low cost. I got FC1 from ezlinuxcds.com, binaries and source for $13.95.

Damn, I love Linux!!

The quality of the distro goes up and the price comes down. Can't beat that deal! :)

Yep.

And amazingly nobody cares or have little heart attacks when the
source code is "leaked"! har har!
Actually how to "leak" something when it is open for public scrutiny
in any case..?...

But then again seeing as Linux is tops and "fixes", "patches" and "updates"
are available on nearly a daily basis - when needed that is - it's no
wonder that I sleep very well thank you, as far as my Linux
sites are concerned that is.
