dexter11 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 You can read the official announcement here, and the release summary here. The best way to get it currently is downloading with bittorrent. If you can't use bittorrent for one reason or another, try the mirrors. P.S. fedora.redhat.com is currently down. source: hup.hu(as usual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 This has already been announced in another thread, don't see that it is appropriate for a portal page on a Mandriva site, but that's just my opnion. I will note that there has been a serious slow down on the i386 dvd now, i'm now getting speeds approx 1/8th slower than just after release at 14:00 GMT. Oh, and here's the orginal announcement I received earlier: Subject: Announcing Fedora Core 6 (Zod) This is the announcement of Zod. Zod permits you to call him "Fedora Core 6". Tremble, Earthlings, for Zod is released from the confines of testing. Zod intends to hammer the servers of the world ... starting TODAY! For those who chose the world-domination-acceptance package in your last installation, you need do nothing -- Zod is beaming itself to your computers already. If your keyboard begins to get hot, back away ... very ... slowly ... For the rest of you minions who failed to do Zod's bidding previously, this is your ONE AND ONLY CHANCE to redeem yourself. Go quickly! Download the torrent NOW. Obtain the ISO immediately. Zod's minions know to back up their /home directory and to begin immediate installation of the GREATEST version of Fedora Core EVER. When you are done genuflecting, listen carefully. Zod now delivers an important message to Zod's predecessor, the Fifth Iteration of Fedora Core, known to some as Bordeaux: "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD, for Zod has many improvements that convince users to upgrade and abandon you! Ph34r me! Mwahahahaha." Zod accepts that the Fedora Project continues to provide software and security updates for Bordeaux, as per the policy of Zod's minions. Zod chooses to permit this action to continue. Those who would understand Zod must begin here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FC6ReleaseSummary http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/ Massive downloading of Zod is known to melt servers worldwide, so Zod commands all who are able to use bittorrent. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org For other ways to get Zod, read http://www.redhat.com/fedora/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 This has already been announced in another thread, You should have sent it to the news IMHO that's why it is. don't see that it is appropriate for a portal page on a Mandriva site, but that's just my opnion.Since the board supports other distros not just Mandriva and there are many users here who use more than one distros it is very appropiate.

ianw1974 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Dexter, Since reivers was posted first, you should have seen this before posting. This is regardless of where reiver posted it. Maybe reiver could have used Portal News, but since this site is mainly Mandriva, I can understand why he didn't put it on there. But as you say, since we support multiple distros, it can easily be placed there, and perhaps should be. You could have always brought it to the attention of reiver, instead of posting the same information twice! It's easy for a post to be moved, than duplicate stuff. No-one brought it to our attention, or anyone complained that it should be in Portal News. And Everything Linux is relevant too. It's a 50/50 thing ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramfree17 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 the question is did dexter actually see reiver's post? if it was not then no harm in having two different posts about it since they could be merged or something. more job for the slackers called ciao!

ramfree17 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 That's what search is for ;) yup, and the view new posts feature should also cover it but lets give allowance to the excitement factor. the duplicate posts is not yet a problem so i think we can let it slide for now and just be contented on soft reminders. btw, im reading too much in this thread so my question still stands. :) ciao!

dexter11 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Sorry for double posting. On the side note I see a few other posts which in my opinion should have been put in the news section like Firefox 2.0 is out. Am I the only one who thinks like this ?

spinynorman Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 As Portal News is a new idea here, we don't have hard and fast rules yet. We haven't replaced Everything Linux with the new forum. News items should be short (although you may link to something substantial) and likely to be of interest to visitors to the portal. We don't want essays or anything too esoteric on the portal itself. As they appear on the front page, we reserve the right to reformat and correct any obvious errors in the text: we want to give a good impression to our visitors. So far, we have published everything that's been posted in the forum. If you see something in another of our forums, that you think would be suitable, please suggest it to the poster rather than post something similar. None of the above is a criticism of dexter11, who has gone out of his way to make this idea a success. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Just wanted to say as well, I'm not criticising dexter either. He's working wonders with the portal news. The is on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
