Fedora Core 6 Test 1 (5.90) Now Available


Just two years ago, a brave test pilot by the name of Mike Melvill successfully guided SpaceShipOne 62 miles above California, USA, overcoming technical problems that could have proven tragic to become the first civilian to reach space, part of a team effort that won the ANSARI X Prize. A team of civilians working together to accomplish a dream, an unbelievable goal.

Today, we of the Fedora Project send our "test pilot" out into the world, hoping to do the impossible. Improve upon the last release! (:
