Fedora Core 6: Kneel before Zod!
Fedora Core 6, codenamed Zod, was released on October 24 for x86, PowerPC, and AMD64 systems. With a number of improvements over its predecessors, this is an impressive release, if you're willing to overlook a couple of installer bugs.
The FC6 schedule slipped a bit at the last minute due to a handful of serious issues, such as an Ext3 data corruption bug, but the Fedora team managed to get the final release out pretty close to schedule. Unfortunately, it's still a bit buggy in some scenarios. It might have been better to hold off releasing FC6 for another week or two to fix the problems, but it is a good release if you're willing to be careful during the install.
Installing Fedora Core 6
I have been using Fedora Core 6 since Test 3 was released in September. The Anaconda installer was spectacularly buggy in the test release and pre-release, and would crash any time I changed any defaults in the software selection part of the installation. The final release is much better, but it still crashes when you select the extras repository during installation. This is true whether you're performing a text-mode installation or using the GUI installer, and I've experienced it on two machines.
