Fedora Core 6

I downloaded and installed the latest offering from the Fedora Project this past weekend: Fedora Core 6 "Zod". For me the fastest mirror continues to be the one graciously provided by Telus in Canada. As with the last Fedora release, this one installed without a problem on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 notebook. Sound and wireless networking worked perfectly out of the box.

In addition to being one of the slickest looking releases, it appears to run faster than Core 5, which was even faster than Core 4. It is amazing to me, and a testiment to open source, that each release of an operating system can offer more in terms of features, yet still run more efficiently on my aging Pentium III notebook than the previous version. Wouldn't it be nice is all operating systems worked that way?
