The Fedora Project announces the second release of the Fedora Core 6

development cycle, available for the i386, x86_64, and ppc/ppc64

architectures, including Intel based Macintosh computers. Beware that

Test releases are recommended only for Linux experts/enthusiasts or for

the technology evaluation, as many parts are likely to be broken and the

rate of change is rapid.
