Fedora Core 5 Re-spins Available 55
Lxy writes "The Fedora Community released re-spins of Fedora Core 5 last Thursday. What's a respin you ask? To put it simply, all the latest updates have been patched into the install CDs, eliminating the need for a long download process after installing. You can read the press release here and of course nab the torrents here."

Imagine now the fun on support lists and forums :
H4x0R_A: I just installed FC5 and nothing works
Package_Owner: what the hell are you talking about, fc5 had a working version
H4x0R_A: It doesn't work, i made a fresh install
Package_Owner: are you _sure_ that you haven't made any upgrades ?
H4xOR_A: Yes
Package_Owner: Read From The Label CD That You Installed
H4xOR_A: FC5 Respin something
Package_Owner takes out the gun, fires the shot.
- Yes it worked in FC5, no it doesn't work in FC5 Respin. Or vice versa. Either way, we have 2 different fc5-s out there.
And this will be everywhere, since the newbs will not be aware of respin or not respin, and we'll have a nice bunch of confusion all over the place
And ofcourse they will try to add `update hacks` of the original fc5 to their system and mock up stuff that didn't neet updating or repairing in the first place (a lot of people just follow wiki's, they don't even realize what they are doing).
I'll continue with playing around with happily my dapper, i hope with fc6 redhat realizes that fc6.1 would be better than "respin".
Now you can troll or flamebait or whatever my post if you want to, but even the evil moderators know that deep down, i'm right on this one and that FC team made a mistake (well yes, shit happens, why not today
