Nice to hear from you again. My opinion on FC3: 1. On the release of the new distro: The upcoming release really shows the commitment of all parties involved in the project to put together a stable, feature rich and yet cutting edge distribution. Core 3 incorporates the latest versions of many user favored applications, i.e. Xorg, GNOME, OOo etc., as well as the latest in progressive code from up and coming advancements such as SELinux and stateless linux. We think that Core 3 is better architected to suit a broad base of user interests, ranging from the simplest of beginners to the most advanced. 2. As a member of the community, this release signifies not only Red Hat's commitment to the project and its prosperity, but to the open source community at large. Furthermore, it shows that the community continues to play an ever-growing role in the design and development of all things surrounding the Fedora Project. Things would not be where they were today had it not been for the amazing contributions of community members. Steps are always being taken to make the process more open and people are stepping up to the plate, which gives me faith in Red Hat's decision to create the Fedora Project, and in the power of the free and open source development model. Thanks for the inquiry, if you need anything else feel free to call me tomorrow as I will be away from the computer traveling. 718-249-3243. Thanks again, Jack
