The Fedora Project announces the first release of
the Fedora Core 6 development cycle, available for
the i386, x86_64, and ppc/ppc64 architectures, including
Intel based Macintosh computers. Beware that Test releases are
recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for the technology
evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken adn the rate of
change is rapid.

suggesting fixes for bugs, and directing the technological improvements
we attempt with this release of Fedora Core. Please direct bugs to
