'''Fedora Core''' (sometimes incorrectly referred to as '''''[[Fedora Linux]]''''') is an [[RPM_Package_Manager|RPM]]-based [[Linux distribution]], developed by the community-supported [[Fedora Project]], sponsored by [[Red Hat]], and derived from the original [[Red Hat Linux]] distribution.

==Versions==
===Stable===
The Project released Fedora Core 1 (FC1, codename [[Yarrow]], release name [[Cambridge]]) on [[November 6]], [[2003]]. Improvements over Red Hat Linux 9 included automated updates with [[yum]], improved [[laptop]] support with [[ACPI]] and cpufreq, prelinking for faster program start time, and [[kernel]]s with the [[Native POSIX Thread Library]] (NPTL). An [[AMD64]] version appeared in [[March 2004]].
Fedora Core 2 (FC2, codename [[Tettnang]]), the current version, was released on [[May 18]], [[2004]]. It includes version 2.6 of the [[Linux kernel]], [[GNOME]] 2.6, [[KDE]] 3.2.1, and [[SELinux]]. This version also replaced [[XFree86]] with the [[XOrg Foundation Open Source Public Implementation of X11]]. A lot of complaints were received about this release because of its problems with installation while [[dual-boot]]ing with [[Windows XP]], but this was actually an issue with the 2.6 kernel's handling of partitions.
===Unstable===
The current test version of Fedora Core is 3 test1. When the final version of 3 is completed on [[October 18]], [[2004]], it should include [[GNOME]] 2.8, [[GCC]] 3.4, and [[KDE]] 3.3.
