Fedora Core 5 introduction

Fedora Core just released recently. today i just finish downloading fedora core 5 and install it. Here is the interface of fedora core desktop screen. The design of fedora GUI is no much different compare to previous two version. But the wallpaper quite nice also. after using it. i found out some element that has been improved a lot on this Fedora Core version 5.

Element like Freedom, All application on the fedora core is totally free to use and no restrictive patent.

Element like Security & Reliability. With Selinux and Exec Shield security features has increase the security level and it cover up a lot of security hole. compare to last time, need to keep on updating the security patches.

Element like Ease of Use. Fedora core has been bundle a more user friendly user interface Gnome which less confusion and constant attention to ease-of-use

Other cool features on FC5 are the new and updated versions of Xen & SELinux and even a new clustering utility. It's amazing how Fedora Core is able to balance between being a desktop and a powerful server at the same time. We should also not forget the inclusion of brand new versions of X11 & GCC and the addition of gnome-mount, Gnome User Share, Ekiga, LVM and Gnome Power Manager. Among the positive surprises on this release was the inclusion of Mono and Beagle as part of the system. We also installed the Mono applications MonoDevelop and F-spot which worked wonderfully. And of course, NetworkManager has seen an overhaul and it works much better now than it used to. Metacity now "sticks" windows at the borders of the monitor which is a very nice effect, however the double-click-wm-to-minimize feature that was added a few months ago is not part of the Metacity preference panel for some reason.
