The Fedora Project is pleased to announce the release of Fedora Core
5. New desktop applications, advances in security, better localization
tools, improved software installation and management facilities and
strong Java integration help to make Fedora Core 5 the most innovative
Linux distribution ever.
* GNOME 2.14
"Improved speed and usability, and new and better features for power
management, file sharing, user help, system administration,
teleconferencing, picture browsing, and networking."
* OpenOffice 2.0.2
"Enhanced productivity features, extensive compatibility with other
popular office software, database connectivity functions, and improved
use of system libraries for faster loading and better responsiveness
overall."
* KDE 3.5.1
"New and exciting features for users and developers, including stylish
and attractive applets, educational and entertaining games, incredibly
standards-compliant Internet tools, and enhanced multimedia and
usability."
* Mono
"Support for .NET means a new generation of dynamic and powerful
cross-platform applications, with some already included, such as
Tomboy for note-taking, F-Spot for photo management, and Beagle for
content searching and indexing."
* Yum-based Package Tools
"Installation and software management tools are all based on the
flexible and powerful yum utility for easy selection and upgrade of
new and existing software."
* Xen Virtualization
"The best framework yet for installation, management, migration, and
monitoring of software-based virtual domains, allowing system owners
to effectively leverage and force-multiply existing hardware for
maximum efficiency, scalability, redundancy, and flexibility."
* Apache HTTP Server 2.2
"Enhanced authentication, database support, proxy facilities, and
content filtering, all built on the most stable and customizable
platform for Web services."
* Enhanced Security
"Support for SELinux binary policy modules means that users and
developers can now ship their own specialized policies with affected
software. GCC's best of breed features, such as stack protection, NX,
PIE, and compile-time buffer checks, pile on additional layers of
assurance to effectively block illegal ingress."
