by Colin Charles 31 Jul '04

31 Jul '04

After a long hiatus, another issue of the Fedora News Updates has been released and is available at: http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/issue14.shtml The current issue is always linked to http://fedoranews.org/colin/fnu/current.shtml FC3 test1 has been released, kernel-sourcode gets a mention, as well as USB multicard readers. Lots from the translation project, several new docs to look at, some new Fedora.us policy to look at and plenty of software to use & test. -- Colin Charles, byte(a)aeon.com.my http://www.bytebot.net/ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi
