Fedora Core 3 is out

Hi All,

Fedora core 3 is finally out. If you are interested you can download it from the official mirrors.

I would like to hear your comments.

One-third of the way through disc 1 at 240 Kb/sec. Darn cable went out earlier, otherwise I'd have set it to downloading from work.

I am populating LQ ISO with mirrors now:

a bit of a newb question....There are src iso's and binary iso's. What would be the advantage/differences between the two? Ive always just downloaded the binary iso.

ok maybe i should rephrase this question. I understand the logistics behind source code and binary. What im really asking is how does using the src iso's over the binary iso's change the installation process. Do the src rpms actually build themselves during the installation of the OS?

thanks

it's going to take me a little bit till I finish downloading (32kB/s)...
anyway I'm curious..what kernel does it use?

I'm liking it so far, but finding it a bit difficult at times. Especially using yum with the yum.conf I had previously. I suppose a lot of the repositories I have in there haven't set up FC3 repositories yet, which is probably the problem. Yum actually seems to be a little slower, even, when it does work. Other than those few little things, it looks really good.
