14 DAY TRIAL // Fedora Project has just announced that Fedora Core 6 has been released to mirrors around the world and it contains a lot of new and improved features: "Tremble, Earthlings, for Zod is released from the confines of testing. Zod intends to hammer the servers of the world ... starting TODAY! For those who chose the world-domination-acceptance package in your last installation, you need do nothing -- Zod is beaming itself to your computers already. If your keyboard begins to get hot, back away ... very ... slowly ...
For the rest of you minions who failed to do Zod's bidding previously, this is your ONE AND ONLY CHANCE to redeem yourself. Go quickly! Download the torrent NOW. Obtain the ISO immediately. Zod's minions know to back up their /home directory and to begin immediate installation of the GREATEST version of Fedora Core EVER.
When you are done genuflecting, listen carefully. Zod now delivers an important message to Zod's predecessor, the Fifth Iteration of Fedora Core, known to some as Bordeaux:
"KNEEL BEFORE ZOD, for Zod has many improvements that convince users to upgrade and abandon you! Ph34r me! Mwahahahaha."
Zod accepts that the Fedora Project continues to provide software and security updates for Bordeaux, as per the policy of Zod's minions. Zod chooses to permit this action to continue."
Let's have a look at the highlights of this release:
? Installer multi repo support. iSCSI, firewire and USB storage installation ? New DNA theme ? Dejavu LGC font on locales where it shows a good difference like Greek language. ? GCJ web plugin playing an interesting applet ? Compiz eye candy + planned integration for switching the window manager easily. ? Pupplet - Yum based updater applet ? Brand new system-config-printer ? Xen virt-manager user interface ? Eclipse 3.2 ? Alacarte menu editor ? Orca Screenreader ? setroubleshoot - SELinux graphical trouble shooting tool. ?

About Fedora:
Fedora Core is a completely free, user friendly, and secure general purpose platform based on Linux that is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute, now and forever. The Fedora Project is an open source project that pioneers leading edge technology and concepts, which is sponsored by Red Hat and supported by the Fedora community.
Fedora open source software gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core, there is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects. Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies.
This unique combination of features makes Fedora an attractive solution in a variety of domains. Some examples of applications that are built upon Fedora include library collections management, multimedia authoring systems, archival repositories, institutional repositories, and digital libraries for education.
You can now download Fedora Core 6 from Softpedia.
