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 3
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.
Fedora Core 3 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/
