Review: Fedora Core 6 - First Impressions
According to recent reivew published in O'Reilly Network (http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/fedora_core_6_first_impression.html):
The step from FC5 to FC6 is smaller and more evolutionary than FC4 to FC5...Overall, FC6 looks and feels like a more solid, polished version of FC5 rather than a wholesale revamp. I look forward to the finished product this fall.
