                   grounding in reality.

Fedora Core 2. "They can take away our hard drives, but they'll never take 
away
our freedom!"

Contact your
local Fedora mirror for details, or visit http://fedora.redhat.com/

                                                                 ...

The Fedora Project would like to thank the thousands of community members 
whose
testing and contributions have raised the bar of quality and made this 
release
possible.

What is the Fedora Project?

                 The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored and 
community-supported open
                 source project that promotes rapid development of 
innovative open source
                 software through a collaborative, community effort. 
Fedora Core 2
                 provides a complete Linux platform built exclusively from 
open source
                 software. Available at no cost, the release serves the 
needs of
                 community developers, testers, and other technology 
enthusiasts who wish
                 to participate in and accelerate the technology 
development process. 

                 As a community forum for advanced development, the Fedora 
Project
                 provides early visibility to the latest open source 
technology and
                 serves as a proving ground for technology that may 
eventually make its
                 way into Red Hat's fully-supported commercial solutions 
such as Red Hat
                 Enterprise Linux. Red Hat contributes development 
resources, editorial
                 direction and management to the Fedora Project. 

How Can I Get Fedora Core 2?

                 Fedora Core 2 x86 or x86-64 Downloads are available from:
                 http://fedora.redhat.com/download/ or from the network of
                 mirrors in the Fedora Project distribution system. Users 
may
                 prefer to download Fedora Core via BitTorrent, or via 
older
                 file retrieval protocols such as HTTP, FTP, or RSYNC.

                 BitTorrent typically provides faster download speeds than
                 HTTP, FTP, or RSYNC.

                 BitTorrent RPMS for Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core
                 are available with detailed instructions at
                 http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/
