massive improvements.

I think I'll like this as the best of the fedora/redhat series.

No more "bloaty" feel, its light & sprightly, & easy on the eyes....

Have you tried it out yet, prathapml? Im debating to test it out or not.

I'm gonna install it on VMWare this weekend.

Thanks! Can't wait; love that Linux!

I can tell you now... It has a different feel than FC4

Except wasn't this supposed to come out in April... lol

Oh well

excellent, was waiting for this.

I'll wait for Dapper drake, it's still too bloated for me

you know ubuntu is kinda 'bloated' itself. if you want a distro without bloat you need to build it yourself.

^^ Or using DSL (**** Small Linux). Thats definatly 'bloat-free'.

Slackware is pretty 'clean' too.

I was waiting since march 12 for this, They kept delaying!

Finally started dl'ing it the moment it was released.

Yep, I'm running it now, and I've got to say that this is the first redhat release in a LOOOONG while that I'm satisfied with.

Good hardware support, latest stable versions of packages, fast performance, refreshing new default look....

The last version I actually liked was redhat 7.3 - after that, all subsequent redhat/fedora releases were too bad in one way or other, and the old desktop theme was horrible - they had used a redhat theme which literally blurred out all variation in looks of KDE & GNOME.

But core5 feels nice in all ways.
