I've downloaded and tested both Core 1 and Experiemental Core 2 (1.90). I must say I'm particularly impressed with the ability to remove bloat from an operating system, particularly when they decide the bloat is anything you may wish to use. The office pack is there, the webserver doesn't work too well, but give it time (and I suppose the Red Hat Network has been offline all weekend).

Anyway, without the bloat its the fastest distribution of Linux I've seen, and while a few members may bash newbness into my face, I'm fairly happy with it as a basic linux package, and its easier to learn to use than anything I've seen.

It still encompasses the RPM package, for fast-non-complex installing.

:) Hope this information was somewhat useful :)

If anyone wants to ask any (serious) questions about Fedora, or wants something tested before they do the drastic format / install, feel free to ask.

Final Note: 2.6 kernel is nasty to install, but is the next best thing since sliced bread if you don't use aMSN.

Sorry, been sick..

Erm, 3 ISO's of about 721 MB (each burns to a 700 MB disk)

Full install is 5gb... I do a 3gb install... :)
