What is this Fedora Core 2 thing?
Fedora Core can be considered to be a continuation of the original Red Hat series, but it is now a community based project. As the official Fedora website states, the Fedora project is: “…a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc.” Official support is only provided from the Fedora Project for 6 – 8 months per version. This means upgrading your OS every 6 – 8 months. The upgrades should be relatively painless, much like Red Hat Linux 8 – Red Hat Linux 9. The painlessness is not guaranteed. If you don’t want to upgrade every 6 – 8 months, there is something called the Fedora Legacy Project. They provide security patches for each version of Fedora for an additional 1 1/2 years after the Fedora Project stops their support.
